Hiya.

Im having paypal trouble because the account i used was in my partners name they wouldnt let me put it in my name to use my bank details. So i have made a new one using my email and name. How do i change it on ebay, so that the payments go into my new account?

I had a nightmare when I changed my email address (and hence my Paypal email address).

Although you can change your email address with ebay and with Paypal it doesn't automatically change it on your listings which means payments don't come through.

When you list something and get to the methods of payment bit there is a box for your Paypal email address -make sure its the right one in there. I found that sometimes it put my old one in

i am waiting on payments for ten items, but on my old account i have reached the maximum sending limit, so i would want the payments to go into my new address. I changed my address with ebay, do you think this will automatically make the payments go into my new one?

So you've sold 10 items and are waiting for the buyers to pay? Yes?

When you listed the items, unless you put your new address in at the bit where you tick methods of payment accepted it won't go in to your new account.

I ended up having to contact my buyers and explain what happened and ask them to make payments to my new account

Okaydoke. I have just emailed them all explaining what happened, so hopefully they will use my new address.
Thank you xx

Good luck!

It was a real PITA and put me off selling anything for ages.
