And in this guide, we will help you achieve just that. But before we do so, there are a couple of important points that we would like to draw your attention to. Please go through them before you ultimately decide to permanently delete your PayPal account. Follow along.
Deleting your PayPal Account? Keep these points in mind
First and foremost, as soon as you delete the account, all the associated and linked data will be gone for good. This will also include all your transaction history as well. Although you could still create a new account using the same email ID, you wouldn’t be able to get hold of any of the earlier data.
Likewise, all the unpaid money requests will automatically be canceled as well. Along the same lines, you will also end up losing all the unused redemption codes or coupons. With that said, let’s now turn our attention towards the requirements section.
