Paying with a credit card without revealing personal information

[olivercharles]

Hi, I need to pay someone via PayPal, and I'd like to use a credit card. What information do they see when I send the payment? My  name, address, cc number, etc?

I just want to pay, without revealing any unnecessary personal info. It's for a service, so I don't need anything shipping anywhere

Thanks!

If you have your card linked to your paypal account then they will not see any card information, thats the whole point of paypal they keep your card and bank account info private.

However even though its a service you should pay via send money > goods / service OR pay an invoice or money request so you have buyer protection.

When you do they will see your name / address and email address.

Thanks for the quick reply!

So will they see my (land) address, as in where I live?

Thanks, but I wanted to double-check. Also, what if my credit card billing address is different to my paypal primary address- which one gets sent?

Thanks!
