hi, I’ve just made a personal account with the intention of selling goods. I have a PayPal.me link that I will use to receive payments, however, I would like a display name or nickname as I do not want customers to know of my real name. Is there a way to do this with a personal account? Thanks!

Sadly not, if you use a fake name or nickname then at some point your account would be limited and any funds in it frozen.
Also to withdraw funds the name on the funding source and paypal account must match.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.
