A draconian, but effective solution is to delete the entire PayPal account (see "Settings > Account > Close you account") and then create a new one. It sucks but at least you know that all of this unwanted inactive autopayments are gone for good. Make sure that you download your transactions history and other data (see "Settings > Data & Privacy > Download your data") before you do it if you care about anything on the account. ... View more

Is there a way to have a second email address that can not be logged into. The problem I have, is someone wants to send me a payment request, but I don't want to give them the email address I use to login to paypal The way I see it, is if I give them my paypal email address, they could do some investigations on that address, and if I have enough of a profile, they could then try and login with that address and a few guessed passwords. I would much rather have a paypal@mydomain address to give them, which can not be used to login to paypal, and also protect my name@mydomainm from spam being sent to my personal email address - it would allow me to setup my mail server to only accept emails from paypal domains for paypal@mydomain I'm inclined to setup TFA, but I shouldn't have to. Paypal should allow this type of protection out-of-the-box, considering any disputes need to go via the paypal portal anyway, rather than direct communications.   Hoping for some advice.   ...
