Hi
I know it seems like a fairly simple change but just think of this situation:
I create a "paypal.me/hellothere" url. I use it and can receive money and so on.
Then I decide to change it to "paypal.me/generalkenobi".
What do we do with the "hellothere" url?
Should Paypal release it? In that case, someone could get it again, and if for whatever reason, a friend or familiar of yours wants to send you money, they might use the old link because they had bookmarked it, or because it's the one they remember or whatsoever, and they'll send the money to other person
They could make that old url unavailable for everyone, but then it would probably end up being fairly impossible to find a url that would be easy to remember, and we'd start adding numbers or symbols to our url like "paypal.me/hellothere_123123123123" or similar, because "hellothere1", "hellothere2", etc... are unavailable
I know it's kind of annoying not being able to change the url if you made a mistake or just want to change it, but don't think it's just an "easy" change. There are a lot of things to consider that we don't know, not just technically
I hope this helps

The answer to the thread has correctly been given which is why the question made by the original poster marked it solved.
If he was happy with the answer then he can mark it solved it he wants to.
The fact that their is no 'solution' in that you can't edit a paypal.me link is another issue.

How do you change your paypal.me name
That's not possible. Once you create the link, you're stuck with the name.
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

As they have no intention of doing so then i guess no.

Have you read any of this thread?
No you can't edit it, that is why paypal say this >>
Once you create your PayPal.Me link, you won’t be able to edit it. So choose carefully!

I just want to add my voice to the many others asking that it be possible to change our paypal.me URLs. I made mine for a specific purpose, not knowing that it would be permanent, and now am unable to use paypal.me for anything else without looking like a hack. Please change this.
