Hi, I have a merchant account with a paypal checkout on my website. I'm happy that when people buy from the site the payment shows as being paid to the business name. What I want to know is if it is possioble to stop the business name showing in purchases? For intance, if I buy something personal on ebay the payment shows as coming from my company. Can it be changed so that purchases show my personal name not the business? Thanks.

Not on your business account no.
You are however allowed to have x2 paypal accounts as long as x1 is personal and the other x1 is business.
So why not open a personal account for those transactions?
