I have 3 old emails attached to my PayPal. None of them are active anymore and none of them are set to primary.
When I try to delete them, it says: Sorry, there's a problem. If you keep seeing this, please contact customer service.
I messaged support about this and received no response. This is getting quite annoying.
And it makes absolutely no sense.
This is an error on PayPal's end and I'm not sure how to fix it.
I even tried to update them to something random and then try to delete it, but it wouldn't even let me update them..
Before you ask, there is NO limitation on my account. Everything is normal besides this.
Why PayPal? Why? I thought you were my pal 💔

You need to Set first the email that you are using as primary email and confirm it. And then that's the time that you can remove or delete the other two emails you no longer use.

I'm having the same issue. I accidentally typed the wrong email address and now it won't let me confirm, remove, or edit. WTF???
