i have a paypal account but havnt used it in over a yr,.. there was about $45-50 left in it, but i have lost my password and no longer have access the that email account anymore.

Anyone know how i could regain acces to the account? I guess $50 isnt a big loss if i can never get back into the account but still, id like to make one last attempt before giving up.

any ideas?

LOL

More seriously, did you go to the paypal site and poke around the help / FAQs? You probably need to mail or fax them paperwork to get the account changed to a different email address.
