Your PayPal primary address will be your shipping address - it's the location where items you've paid for with PayPal will be sent, unless you have made other special arrangements.

If you move to a new home, a new town, or an entirely new state, it's pretty important that you change your PayPal primary address to reflect the new spot.

Changing your PayPal shipping address will take just a few minutes. Here's how to do it.

How to change your primary address on PayPal
