If I use PayPal to make an online purchase from a vendor, I begin receiving advertisement emails from them soon after. Just one example, I recently purchased something from Vera <removed>. After the transaction was complete, I begin receiving emails from the company. I was able to "unsubscribe" from the email distribution, but I find that I'm having to do this now after every online purchase.
The emails are not necessarily the most frustrating part. I have a primary email address for my account (hypothetically: primary[at]xyz.com) that I do not use for online, PayPal purchases. I use another email address (hypothetically: alt[at]xyz.com) associated with my PayPal account to complete these online transactions; however, despite using my alternate email address for the purchase, my primary email address is passed along to the respective vendor and added to their respective email distribution list. In other words, I use alt[at]xyz.com for the purchase, but somehow primary[at]xyz.com is passed along to the vendor. I would like to avoid this - is that possible?
