Paypal.me link

Is it possible to change your Paypal.me link name?

I am currently at the start of a small business, I don't want to change to a full businrss account yet as I don't want to lose all the personal account benefits (making personal purchases or receiving money from family without paying fees etc) 

The paypal.me link offers buyers the opportunity to be protected and I still get to use personal account, but I need to change the link somehow and I can't seem to find where or how?

The link can't be changed once created.

You can open a separate business account (we can have one personal and one business account) when you're ready to, and create a business PayPal.me link for it (which can only receive goods and services payments) but in general business accounts can send and receive friends and family payments too via the Send & Request page.

To open a business account:

Good news everyone!

I rang Paypal support today and asked them to change my link. They advised me it couldn't be done, but he said on his system he now has an option to delete an existing paypal.me link. He deleted mine, and when i went to my Paypal.me admin page, it asked me to create a new link, which succeeded. I now have renamed my paypal.me link.
