Paypal sending emails to wrong address

thriftymanc

My OH and I share a Paypal account - we have to because according to Paypal we both use exactly the same debit card so it says we can't have our own accounts (only the card numbers are the same - it ignores the fact that the dates, security codes and issue numbers are different :mad: but that's another rant!).

He set up an account and I added my email address to his. I can accept payments at my address and pay with my address... but his email account receives ALL the Paypal emails, even if I paid for something, he gets the receipt! It's so annoying. If I buy something on eBay I get the 'you won' email but not the receipt. (Paypal has also given out his name when I pay, totally unbeknownst to me, when I check out it brings up my name and address but then I've had post go to him instead even though Paypal never mentioned his name - it doesn't do it every time though, it's so random). How can I stop this? Surely if I log in to our account with my email address, then Paypal should know to use my name and send my emails to ME and not someone else?

delete one of your email address so everything goes to the same email

I have two accounts and it always sends those emails to one of them, and never the other. I assume the first email address entered is the "master" address and all important emails will be sent to it.

Why would you want duplicate email to half a dozen accounts, I certainly wouldn't?

I have 6 email accounts registered against my paypal account and only the primary email gets the notice, and I'm happy with that. I don't want dozens and dozens of emails duplicated across all my accounts.
