How to Change Your PayPal Address
By Kristen Waters
PayPal is a website where you can send and receive money electronically. It is used as a method of payment for many online stores. PayPal uses your email address as your account username. When purchasing products, the product is often sent to the main street address listed on the PayPal account. If you move or change your email address, you should update your PayPal account so the funds get transferred correctly.
