How to Change Ownership of a PayPal Account

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.

1. Add new email -> Confirm it -> Make it primary.
2. Delete old email (so it can be reused on another PP account)
3. Change Business Name
4. Change Business Contact

Each requires verification steps of some kind, but in that order you can essentially migrate it to new ownership.
