Here’s how to change the ownership of a PayPal account, which typically needs to be done when your company gets acquired, among other cases.
- Add new email -> Confirm it -> Make it primary.
- Delete old email (so it can be reused on another PP account)
- Change Business Name
- Change Business Contact
Each requires verification steps of some kind, but in that order you can essentially migrate it to new ownership.

This assumes the person making the aforementioned changes is the account owner. What happens when the account owner is no longer available.

Hi Jean,
is it as simple even the new owner is in another country? The PayPal account and current owner is located in theUS: The new owner in Germany. Can i do it the way you described?
Thanks Tobias
