I want to use paypal for personal fundraising. I live in a VERY small town and would prefer to use an alias, but I do not have a "Doing Business As" registered in the alias.
I am financially in need because I became unemployed (but I am seeking work!). I want a way I can solicit donations online through a weblog. My problem is I would prefer to use a pseudonym because I live in an extremely small town and do not want local people defaming me and my family.
Is there a way I can legally use an alias on PayPal without having a "Doing Business As" registered with the pseudonym and Tax ID?
