Stupidly thick paypal question...

[Gamebird]

Can anyone please tell me how I change my name on my paypal account to my married name? It's still under my maiden name and I need to change it to move some money around as eveything else is in my married name.

I can change my address, email, phone no. or password but not my name

I expect I'm missing something really obvious

I would contact Customer Services.

Good luck with that, ebay and paypal are both a pain in the bum!
You need to log into paypal and go to contact us, go through the series of questions and it will finally let you email someone, who will email you back with the instructions, good luck!

1. Log in to your account at https://www.paypal.co.uk/
2. Click Profile at the top of the page.

Before we continue, was this helpful?

Thanks. I was sure that there was a reason that I hadn't done it yet, even though I've been married for four years
