Now I have another question, this one is about PayPal. I recently switched added a new local e-mail service that I am switching to entirely. I went to PayPal and added this new e-mail address and put it as my primary address. But when I get the notices from PayPal that somebody has sent me a payment, it goes to my old Earthlink address. I use Outlook express and receive mail from both address under it, but when I look at the address the notice is being sent to, it is going to my old address. In fact, it is sending me two notices. I thought that one was going to my new address, but it isn't. I will be discontinuing the other account (earthlink) shortly and want to make sure I receive my notices. Did I miss going somewhere on PayPal to tell them which address to send the notices to? I have looked everywhere and all I see is where you mark which PayPal id/address you want as your primary. I have also told the winners to send the payment to the new PayPal id, which I thought they were doing. Anybody have a simple answer for this annoying problem? Thanks again for the help.

You'll need to go into your auctions and change the PayPal payment address in them. I went through this same thing.

How exactly do you do go in and change the payment address in the auctions? I thought I had already done that, but maybe I haven't. I'm really starting to feel like an idiot with this computer. Thanks for your help.

I list directly through eBay, so the way I did it was:
*Click on revise auction
*Click on 'continue' (opening screen)
*Scroll down, click on 'Edit Payment & Shipping'
*Right towards the top is a check box for PayPal - payment will go to '[email protected]'
*Just type in your new email address. You will have to do this on each and every auction individually.
Don't feel like an idiot...trying to remember everything to change can be a nightmare sometimes!
