hey guys

say you get a paypal acct

u want to start a business online called abc toys

you havent got a business license yet
but your going to

so you register a "Business" acct with paypal or whatever ahead of time under the name abctoys


then at the last minute
you realize
you can't use the name abc toys because of <reason here>

so you change your name to bob's toys and get a business license for that. But now your paypal accct says

ABC Toys
billing@abctoys.com

how can you edit your Business name? i can't seem to...

I needto change it to Bob's toys

note these are examples.

send an email or form thing off to customer service we have changed names before on paypal

took them about 1-2 days

... I would recommend to just open another account. Make a secondary email and make it primary then delete the former primary in order to be able to use it when you signup for a new account.

Keep the old account in order to make payments or so until the credit card(s) for your other account are verified then delete old account. ;)

... but you also run the risk of having *both* accounts frozen as you're only "allowed" to have one ;)

Please make the request to change the name through the PayPal web site (logged in). You will receive an email advising you what documentation is needed to make the name change request.

what if you close your acct
then re create it.?

Users in good standing are free to open a new account if the other one is closed.
