Full name needed to receive money

[Jerzeyjenn]

For someone to send me money its telling them to enter my full name. I want it to be just email. I don't want my full known. How can I change this for security purposes. I'm NOT happy about this..

Beware, could be a scam. Asking for your name so they can create some bogus, fake PayPal email confirmation to address you by name like PayPal does. The buyer does not need your name to send you a payment. PayPal email will do. Your name will appear anyway in their PayPal account activity IF they are serious and really want to pay you and indeed paid you.
