Fee like passing out the number you had like with? Any specific keywords or departments to try and get to? I really need to get mine changed, or simply create an entirely new account just to change one tiny setting.

 

Due to the .me link, I've already been doxed 4 times, one of them involving my elderly mother.

 

Because I have such a unique name (about 3 of us in the USA), I rather not expose myself so much.

On top of that, the goal of this account will be changing from personal to possibly business in the future, and if that's happening the link most certainly has to change.

It was just the regular support line. He searched on his internal knowldgebase and found an article from a colleague suggesting the links could be deleted. He went into my settings and saw an option for delete. I told him to try it and I immediately refreshed my page and got straight back to the sign-up where I could choose a new name

Sadly 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!

Yep seems a bit daft doesn't it, but loads of folks asking for years to be able to change it but paypal have never allowed it.

I just got mine changed, a support agent had the option to delete it from my account and I was then able to go through the process again as if I had not created on in the first place allowing me to set a new one. So just call up and ask that they delete your Paypal.me and profit?

Worked for me too. Customer service was surprised that it is possible but i reffered to this page, he asked a guy in the tech team and did it. Nice call and we both laughed in the end, cause we learned something new today 😉

Thank you, Calling into support and having the agent remove my Paypal.me link and profile allowed me to change it! 

 

So glad this was able to be changed for the sake of business confusion
