paypal question

[netzih]

I want to open a paypal account so that people can pay me and I can pay others but I didn't want that people should see my real name is there any way that no one will see my name when sending/receiving money from me?

Hmmm, business account?

they'll see whoevers name you'll put on the account...  anothe r option might be the teen/student account (extension to your account).

I don't see the names of businesses I sent money too and/or receive money from. Can I ask why you don't want your name seen?

i think you are being a bit nosy here  but ill answer anyways. i sell things online and i would rather the buyers didn't see my real name

I asked if I can ask I think the business question is sufficient in that regard. If you're using eBay then they'll be able to see the name you gave eBay unless you change it.

@AsherO
So if I'm not using ebay than they won't see my name if I have a business account?

I don't think so. I don't see the owner's name when I send to/receive from business accounts. If they ask paypal they might get it though.

basically they'll see whatever you put in as your teen, makeup whatever you want.

There aren't really minimums, but lots of maximums.

If you live in the usa, there are so many alternatives. Why use them, unless for specific eBay tricks, or micro payments, they are a waste of time/money.
