In making a payment the other night, I created a 2nd PayPal account. (wasn't intentional) So now I have 2 PayPal personal accounts. I would like to merge the new one with the current active one. How do I do this? I did use different emails on each account. Thank you.

You can't merge 2 paypal accounts, but if you select to close one of them (having removed everything you may have linked to it first) you can then add the email address belonging to your closed account to your second account. You can have up to 8 email addresses on the one paypal account.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.

Thank you for the suggestion. Yhe old account has yearly subscriptions that have been tied to PayPal for decades. This new account has 2 new subscriptions. I would have to change email accounts on the sub account. My biggest problem . Happens almost every time I login. I get error message when using oldest email. I have to create new pw to go into main account.
