ok so im a twitch streamer and don't stream under my real name. i use an alias and I am a Vtuber so I hide my identity.
i made my account a personal account at first using my name I use to stream then when I started getting tips I needed to prove my ID before I could take money out, only I don't have any ID in my streaming name.
so I changed my account to a business account so I could keep the name the same but its still wanting info from me I cant give and I so lost as to what type of account I should have!
i know why paypal is doing this because now I see it looks sketchy as hell and I don't know why I didn't think of this in the first place I just didn't was to be doxxed or have my name online for people to see or my address.
can people please help me

Sadly if you choose to use a fake name on a legal financial account you are always going to end up with that account not working properly or be limited.
