Name Change Confusion

[TheTubbyLife]

Hey,

I'm new to the community and though after over 20 days of waiting for a response from Paypal's email support, I'd try the forum!

Now, I'm in a bit of a dillema. 

Me and a couple of buddies create some art and we sell it through our site.

We have a lot of other services such as ghost producing, selling graphic designs, logos, etc. 

Now, we first signed up as a Premier account but now I realize that when buyers purchase something, they see my name!

I don't want this to happen as we are a group and I don't want my name out there.

Anyways, we are not officially registered as a business as we don't make profits of over $9999. (Canada)

Now, if I want to get rid of the name, what is the best option?

Upgrade?

Or change name? (But then again, we wont be able to change it to the name of our group)

Now, the problem with upgrading to a business account would be that all of our info would be on an invoice/Paypal reciept. Now, the problem with that is, like I said, we are a group, we have no office. The only thing we have is a site and a support e-mail.

Would we put our home phone?

I am really confused as I do not want my name shown but am not a registered business. We ARE a group. We ARE a small business. JUST REALLY SMALL.

Thanks,

Let me know, if anybody can help!

Unfortunately you just can't change the name on a Premier Account to something generic, it has to have the account owners name.

Basically the only work around is to have a Business Account.

Thanks, 

However, I know the work around is changing to a business account. But, I AM NOT a registered business. We do operate as a group name and make a profit. But we are not making enough profits to register in Canada as a business. Around $7000. 

Please do let me know, 

Thanks,
