When I send money to a friend from my personal account, other than my email address, what info about me does the recipient see? I do not want to show my actual name or physical address.

Just name/email address, no physical address if its not for shipping anything.

Does "name/email address" mean the account holder name along with the email address? Or is the email address considered the name? I want the recipient to see my email, but not the name on the PayPal account, which is my father's name, not mine.

HI @spitvalve

 

That's a great question. The receiver would see the name registered on the PayPal account and the email address the payment was sent from. 

 

I hope this information helps!


Thanks,
