    I have 3 email ids added to my PayPal account. Can I request money to any of the 3 email ids? OR Should I request only for the Primary Id?

    Pls clarify.

    mixke is right. I have been using PayPal for years now to accept/send payment for one thing or another. As long as the email is registered to your account on the PayPal site, any money sent to it gets directed to your account. I have 5 different emails that I use to accept money via PayPal right now, one for website, one for affiliates, one for eBay, etc.

    The primary email is just the email that PayPal uses to contact you and send you information about your account.

    You can request money to any of the 3 email ids and note that you will get payment notification only to that email address (not primary id).

    Paypal allowe upto 8 email addresses in one paypal account and you can use one email address only once.

    If you are conducting business online it look more professional when the payment is sent to an appropriate email address (for example ) rather than your personal email account (e.g. ).
