Changing paypal account.

When I first bought something from ebay I set up a paypal account using my email address to purchase the item but I used my mum's credit card to pay for it. Ever since then everytime I buy something from ebay using paypal it comes addressed to my mum. Have asked paypal about changing the name on the account but they won't let me even though it has been my own card that has paid for items since then. And I am verified with a card in my own name. Bit embarrassing having all these parcels coming through my door under my mum's name. I think the postie thinks I'm pulling a fast one.
Anyway have set up a paypal account in my own name using another email address. How do I link it to my ebay account?
Can I cancel the one in my mum's name and will I be able to use the email address I had for that account?

Hello,
Yes you should be able to change the PayPal account linked to your ebay account. I'm sure if you use the eBay help section it will show you very simply how to do this, but I think you simply change the e-mail address in preferences on your eBay account..Stuff Happens As Wave of Ambiguity Spreads:cool:0
