I've had this problem in the last week and have spoken to both eBay and PayPal. Initially eBay said it wasn't their problem and speak to PayPal, which I assumed they would, and PayPal said it wasn't them and speak to eBay. Typical. In the end I spoke to eBay again, the agent said they'd just had someone call with the same problem and was advised they'd call back. In the end I received an email saying it was a system problem and had now been resolved, but I was still unable to use my new email address with eBay. Spoke to a very nice Irish chap who was very helpful and passed it on to the IT department and yesterday (after a week) he called back. They had managed to remove the immediate payment tick on one of my listings and updated it to accept the new PayPal address and I was advised to get someone to buy the item. The thinking was that once a payment had been received at the new address it should then let me update the PayPal address on all my other listings. However, this hasn't worked and I'm back to square one. I've also tried paying my eBay balance with the new PayPal address, buying something on eBay and linking my two accounts. When I try linking I login to PayPal with the new email address and password, it links with eBay but then in the account section on eBay it still shows my old email address. Still have the old one registered to PayPal because all my listings are going through to it at the moment. So after almost two weeks of back and forth I have exhausted almost everything and I'm still no further along with the issue. I need to speak to PayPal about it next but haven't had the energy to do it yet. If I get an answer tomorrow I'll update this post and let you know how I get on, if you find a solution then I'd be grateful if you could share an answer.
