Normally you use the one you log in to your paypal account with !

Hi,

Thank you for the answer.

Yes, I agree.

I however added a second gmail email.

However when I send someone an invoice my old email appears on the invoice.

Can the person paying me use either my second gmail email or my old first email?

In other words any one of both.

Thank you.

Regards,

Deon.

You can have up to 8 email addresses on the x1 paypal account and as long as they are all confirmed receive funds on any of them.

Copy and pasting the exact same answer when trying to get a simple yes or no @Deon. I’ve seen that answer everywhere, but it doesn’t confirm if you can deal with a send money & receive money with a secondary email (confirmed verified with PayPal) but basically treat a secondary email as if it were a primary. I’m looking for the same info and I’m getting different answers.

[Deon248]

So what is the real correct answer? One would expect that if PayPal allows you to register more than one email, you can use any one of them.

So nice to give up my time to help folks when instead of asking for further clarification they are rude about my answers ie @Kallakasha 

However to clarify, all you have to do is make whichever email address you want to use primary beforehand if you want to send an invoice using that address.

With receiving funds however you can get them to send to any of the email addresses, does not have to be the primary one.

Good day,

Thank you for your assistance so far. My primary email is my second email. However, when I send out an invoice my first email is indicated on the invoice.

How do I get my second email to be indicated when I send out an invoice? I know you said it does not matter because any email can be used for payment.

However does it not have any effect on the payment link that is sent with the invoice?

Deon.
