Why cant you change your P@yP@l name?

Im needing to create a p@yp@l so i can get paid for doing work for people.

But i already had an account i used for inappropriate reasons and my username is clearly sexual related and that would be so awkward to babysit kids for someone and be like "Yeah sure send me $ at SexyBunnyXOXO"

And for some reason you cant change your Username??? Like why?

So it made me need to create a new one so that awkward scenario doesnt happen but it's such a hassle

Maybe it's to prevent payment confusions. 😅

@Classified probably but still

@PetalsOfLilac For the people who want to change their username, it is annoying, yes. 😅

@Classified i think my example was a very reasonable to change it hahah
It's easier to change your "Legal Name" on there than it is your username

Classified · M

@PetalsOfLilac Yes in your case it should have been allowed for change. Maybe you can just abandon the old account and continue only with the new one.

@Classified thats what i did haha i just need to connect my bank and cards to the new one

@PetalsOfLilac Fortunately they don't check whether another account already has those then. 😌

@Classified they do haha i need to find a way to switch it but hopefully they can still send money before i need to figure that out on my own time

Id rather it be stuck where i cant access it for awhile rather than give them the clealry porn name account 😂 especially when they have me in their house and around their kids
Like thats the most awkward thing
Ill be like "Ummm my paypal?...yknow what, just keep the money" and theyd be like ??????????? What

😂

@PetalsOfLilac Oh meh, maybe you could put a different bank card on your old account and then the old bank card on your new account. 😅

Oh dear, that costs you money. Better that they just pay you cash. 😱

@Classified i know I'll figure it out lol

And yeah but in theory if Paypal was the only option and my choices were give them my username or get no money, id take the no money 😂

@PetalsOfLilac Hopefully quick. 😋

I guess parents could understand that you have had certain activities, but better not having to explain that. 😅
