Re: Change PayPal.me Url

Hey Maffhew,

 

Welcome to the Community!

 

I'm sorry but this isn't a possibility at the moment. It may become an options for customers at some point in future but it's not currently an available feature on the PayPal.me service at this time.

 

I will ensure that your feedback is forwarded to the relevant teams. If there is anything else that we can do to help you in future, you know where to find us.

 

David.

David, 

 

Years have gone by since this thread was started asking for this change and nothing has happened. Why not?

Just read this was solved. This is not solved. If so how? Even your FAQs state that pretty much. Its NOT SOLVED. Allow us to change the link name for crying out loud.

Well - this really stinks, I do not even want to keep my PayPal account now. Before you could have multiple links - now just one and you can't change it?

 

My URL is raffle tickets?! No one is going to use that link when I am not doing raffle tickets (SO IT IS UTTERLY USELESS TO ME), if it can not be changed - WHY DO YOU NOT GIVE CUSTOMERS A *WARNING POP_UP, advising them that they need to choose wisely - BECAUSE IT CANNOT BE CHANGED?!!!

 

Not cool PP, not cool at all 😞

Any follow up on this request from a few years back? I just changed the website that I'm using and it would be great to change the short url without having to create an entirely new PayPal account!

I clicked on someone's paypal.me link and it said grab this link, so I did. They made a 1 character mistake when they sent the link, so now I have a permanent Paypal me link that is named nearly the same as a local business owner and I won't ever be able to use it or create a new one. I love PayPal, but I'm certainly disappointed in the lack of forethought and planning for this feature!

I misunderstood the difference between paypal.me and pools, and now I'm married for life to my paypal.me URL.  Please fix.
