Closing and opening a PayPal

[Tindris]

For various reasons I want to close an old PayPal account and open a new one. Will PayPal react in any way if I transfer the money from my old one to my new one as the address and names are the same but the emails are different? Is there anything I should take into consideration?

Even though it says 1 business account and 1 personal account, i'm sure you could get away with 2 personal accounts.

Do you know that you can add a new email to your existing PayPal account and then use that new email as your PayPal email address?

If that would work for you, you wouldn't need to close your existing account.

Yeah, you can defiantly do this because this is what i did with my current Paypal account 🙂

I think you would be best contacting them, then there will be no doubt, and maybe they can even help in the process!

I don't think Paypal will let you get away with it. They are quite strict.

Can you not withdraw the money to a bank account, close the account and then set up a new one?
