Go and click on the profile tab (icon next to log out) > click on the + and add another/new email address first > verify it > go back and click on update and tick the box underneath that says make primary > then you should get the remove option by the old now no longer primary email. You can remove that one or leave it on as you can have up to 8 email addresses on the one paypal account.

Thank you so much. I finally figured it out using the dial next to the log out. I've discovered that PayPal is really not very user-friendly (a complaint shared by many). Like "correct the highlighted errors and try again."
