I am a sole trader selling CD's, coffee and food products online. The name of my web site is the one I used to create my PayPal account, but my bank account is in my personal name. I want to keep the name I trade under for my PayPal account, but use my own name to set up the direct debit for withdrawals. I do not seem to be able to do this, and when other people have asked a similar question they do not appear to have received an answer.
There is, incidentally, nothing illicit about this, I do have my own name and contact details on the site, I just prefer to trade under another more memorable and relevant business name.
A response would be very much appreciated, even if it is to say that I will have to change the name of the entire PayPal account to make the direct debit work.

The name on your bank account has to match the name on your paypal account.
