Adding email to PayPal account

    Hello,

    currently I have one PayPal account that is associated with 1 (primary) email address. If I add another email address, will anybody (who sends money to this account to both email 1 and email 2) be able to find out that the PayPal account is the same? (i.e. to find out the primary email address?).

    I am thinking about it because if the secondary email got blocked for payment by a third party, I don't want to threaten the payment to primary email.

    Thanks for suggestions.

    You may add as many emails to your Paypal account as you want (up to eight)

    However everytime you send money or receive money your counterpar will real your full name (personal accounts) or business name (premium/business accounts) regardless the Paypal's associated email your are disclosing.

    As far as you are concerned, all the email addresses which you add to Paypal are linked to the same account but as far as your customers are concerned, the email address you gave them would not be linked to the others.

    Assuming if Paypal limits your account, all the email address associated to it would aos be limited.

    Paypal allows you to add distinct email addresses so that you can show differientation to your customers, if they are the same then it defeats the whole purpose.
