Upon further introspection, you're right. I am unfit to hold an account here as my financial inadequacies, much like my mental inadequacies, are vividly apparent. I just don't have it together in the slightest, that's why I want to thank you for this eye opening revelation you've given me. LOL SOLUTION: yea so if anybody accidentally screws up their name when making their account, THIS is what you do. Something actually useful that the community can use. Forget waiting for some BS name change, why should I wait when I can fix the problem myself. And no this is in no way a violation of paypal's security and is not illicit in any way. I am the sole owner of both accounts they are mine to do what I am able to with. 1. Make a throwaway gmail account (something you'll remember but never use) 2. Update your email address on paypal to the throwaway (confirm it, set as primary) 3. Remove your old email address on paypal 4. Remove everything else you can, (credit card, bank account, etc) I only had my debit card. Ps. can't change billing address, phone number hard to change 5. Make a new paypal account using original email and CORRECT NAME. 6. Now you are set and can close your mistake account on the throwaway if you choose. (or hold on to it and make posts like this) We're done here bye i'm never responding to this chain.
