So I'm an astrologer who sells readings online and people pay me through PayPal. I tried to create a new BUSINESS account because I want to remain anonymous to my buyers--I don't want to reveal my real name, for paranoid reasons.
I've come to find out that you actually need a registered Business to have a Business account. And that sounds like common sense, which I don’t have of course. I'm just wondering--how can I hide my real name to other people who pay me for my services? I decided to use my personal account instead of a Business account, but I still don’t want people to know my real name. It just makes me worried.
Please help.

Hi there my friend,
It's good that you reached out to us regarding this matter. I do apologise but we have no option to hide your real name to your customers. Since we are also being considered as a Financial entity and we reports to Banks also so we are obliged to get the real name of our account owners.
Hope this helps. Stay safe my friend.
