How to hide real name in paypal transactions

[Jones]

Ηey im new here, and i admit im pretty excited about finding such a forum. Its really a treasure!

Im currently looking to make sales through the internet and im mainly using PAYPAL, as it enables me to make international transactions and it is very widely well known and used.

I currently own a personal account, and i work by accepting payments or sending a payment link or request. The problem is, that when one pays me, they can see my personal FULL NAME. I can see theirs too.

Thats a big issue for me as i would rather have more privacy and i initially thought that my personal name would NOT be revieled. PAYPAL agents are less than useless when it comes to helping out with this, so i had to search online to find a solution. As far as i have understood i have 2 options:

1) Upgrade to/create a business account. If i have understood correctly, when i do this the people who pay me will only see the "business name" and not my personal name. However, im not entirely sure this is going to work because:

-I may have to provide a VAT number or something to prove i own a business in order to update to a business account (thing im unable to do at the moment)

-It might be obligatory to issue invoices or receipts to the people who pay me

-Maybe in some transactions (paypalme link for example) my personal name will still show up.

2) Create another paypal account, maybe with a fake name, and have people pay me there.
If i want to redeem, i can transfer my money to my real account and then withdraw via bank.

If you people have an opinion to this, id be more than glad to hear. If you think one option is best, or if you have another idea, please let me know.

Thank you in advance.

Have you found a way? I am also in the same position.

You can not hide your name as it requires your real name to mention in registration process.

You will need to use darks or fake documents to do so, they need to be streamlined with the rest of your setup for this to work proparly.

Actually, i did it by using exactly the second way i mentioned.

I opened an account with fake name-adress etc, and i linked an old prepaid card of mine so the account can work.

Now, i cannot withdraw money from this account, but i can send the funds to my real account and then withdraw them to my bank account.

Dude, I just registered into the forum to reply this... I'm facing the same issue as you were!
Is there a way to contact you for a quick question's session?

I hope to receive soon an answer from you.

How can I pm, my friend?

If you have something to share then do this here.. to use this forum to register and just ask people to PM you is suspicious also taking your username into consideration!

If you're referring to me, you can see I'm not the one who initiated private contact...

Otherwise, I agree, a paypal agent couldnt be any more obvious.

To get back to topic I would say everyone that is interested in getting a anonymous paypal account without their name or address, simply upgrade your account to mentor group gold and learn how you exactly can do that. It's not that difficult and for 90% of all taking action it will work.

best way is described in the mentor group gold , there is no way around other if you want to use hours to search google or trial & fail method.
