Hello, does anyone know how to change my 'handle' name, I've inadvertently used my real name and need to change this urgently, no one from Paypal has come back to me on this.

Go to the moderator board and choose one of them.
Then go to the envelope under your handle and send them an email and i am sure they should pass it on to one of the "techies" for you.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.

Hi julialuen,
I am sorry to hear that you have been unable to change your name.
If you would like to message me the details of the change I would be happy to see if I can change it for you.
Thanks

Hiya
I am in need of changing my handle name, so it my real name is not known by the people sending me money for goods and services.
Is this possible? I have another account (cream_108) which i use for personal business, but want to set up business starting small and want my real name disguised from customers!
Please advise.
Keith

Hi lockuptipser,
I think you may have misunderstood. When we discussed changing handle names it was handle names for this forum.
You can however update your details on your PayPal account directly if you wish to change the name. If you have a business you can register your business name and set that to show on your buyers statements and receipts. To update and add business details just go to your Profile and click on "my business details".
I hope this helps
