confirming identity, accounts etc

[relp31]

Hello,

I've been asked to update  my account with proof of identity via proof of bank account and residence. This isn't a problem of course and I've no problem with PayPal knowing everything, but I don't want my actual name to be visible to purchasers. Is there anything that can be done? Thanks!

No, a buyer has a right to the name or business name of the seller.

If you try and use a fake name then at some point your account would be frozen OR you would be unable to withdraw any funds from your paypal account.
