Paypal question
 

what is it about your paypal account that determines how people send you money? Is it the email address you have set up or is there a "username" somewhere?

I have an existing account but I want people to send money to a specific name....do I just change the email address to accomplish that?

Shani,

That is what I have done in the past. You can also have more than one email registered to your paypal account - but they will require you to choose one as primary for the log in purposes.

My Account: Edit Profile
Click Email
Add for adding a new email address, and then they will require an answer to a confirmation email. I currently have 3 emails in my paypal accounts.

so I can add the one I want and when I tell people to send me money....I give them that email to use?

yep :)

thanks!!!!

oh wait...does it have to be the primary email? or just one that I have attached and confirmed?

jsut one that is attached and confirmed
