How do I register a new paypal address on my skype account? I can't delete the old one, even though I have canceled the recurring charge in the old paypal account.

I need to put my new paypal address on file, so the previous account is not charged. (it is for an old business that I am no longer involved with)

Thanks!

Not possible ... at least the last time I asked. I wish it were possible because I do NOT want to create a new Skype account to fix this problem.

It's not possible to have 2 PayPal accounts registered on the same Skype account.
You will need to create a second Skype account and register your new PayPal account to it.

Even eBay allows a person to change which PayPal account is linked to their eBay ID ... why cannot Skype do the same? Please make this suggestion to the proper person.

Thank you.

Because of security considerations.
This has been Skype policy since inception and won't be changing anytime soon.

I am afraid that you are incorrect Norman -- I have just had a online chat with Skype support and have successfully changed my PayPal account to the one that is now active. I have also purchased credit with the updated PayPal account details.

Alternatively, I cannot use PayPal as the account connected to this Skype account is no longer valid. I have been told that I cannot change the PayPal account that is associated with this account, so that is not an option either....

7:44:52 PM Erzsébet - Skype Support says
You can change or link as many PayPal account to one Skype username as you wish.
7:45:03 PM kensalign says
How?
7:45:57 PM kensalign says
When I went to pay for Skype credit it used the account on file, with no option to enter the email address associated with the PP account.
7:46:13 PM Erzsébet - Skype Support says
You have to cancel the old Billing Agreement on your PayPal account.

The rest of the conversation is not related to this issue ... but once the old Billing Agreement was canceled, I could then choose PayPal as a payment option. When doing so, I was presented a log in screen to log in to PayPal and made the payment using the different account.

I tried to find that option in the Paypal account but I could not find it. Does anyone knows where is that option in the Paypal account? Thank you in advance.

In order to prevent further charges, log into your PayPal account from the main page, select Profile > Pay List > Skype Agreement and then press ''Cancel''.
That way Skype is no longer authorized to make deductions from your account.
