I used a nickname to sign up for Paypal and now they’re asking for my ID. However when I try to change my name, the link doesn’t load and just says “too many redirects occurred”. Please help! (The link is: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_sr-name-change&name_change_type=business_name)

You can only change a name for minor typos OR legal name changes.

If you used a fake name to open a legal financial account then you will never be able to verify that paypal account.

Yes I am aware. But the link is not working so it’s not letting me change my name!
