    Yes I am sure you can close that account and re-open another with the same address. The account should be closed instantly but ot sure.

    I'm not sure whether you can re-create an account with the same email but I guess you can reopen account with same email.

    As for closing account , your account gets closed instantly (I'm sure about that)

    Regards

    Well, I really don't understand why do you want to close a Paypal account with the intention of opening it within the forseeable future.

    Keeping a Paypal account without using it would not incur any cost on your part and opening it again may require you to go through the verification process all over again and you will most likely lose your reputation which you have taken so much to build up with it.

    Why do you wish to close it in the first place ? And you might want to edit your e-mail if you don't want the spam bots to have a field day

    I read somewhere that you can open a new account with same email address but you need to wait for 180 days as paypal will investigate dispute if any pertaining to that email account you were using.

    You can open a new account after closing the old paypal account. But this can happen only after a period of more than two months.

    But,why on earth would you like to close your paypal account and then open again?.

    May be the user has not added a credit card and his/her limit is reached and he wants to reopen the same account so he'll get the limits re installed..

    Couldn't you just have edited your profile and changed your name?
    But I can understand if your other account isn't verified.

    no i want to change first name for that paypal asked me to submit some documents.i have all the documents which they have asked but for faxing documents i need money.so i thought instead of submitting documents and wasting money its better to cancel the account and re-open it:D.that account is not verified.i don't have debit card to verify. i am applying for debit card .

    Supposed that you are able to get the new account set up, you still need to get the account verified and you may still be required to provide faxed copy of your government-issued ID and credit card statement.
