Privacy PayPal when receiving payments

[mbdt]

Hi!

I would like to know if it is possible to hide my name and address when I want to receive a payment. I know the other person needs my email address, and that is fine by me, but I just want to make sure they dont know my name and address. Can anyone help me? 

Thank you!

The other person will see your name AND email address at the very least with a personal account. No 100% anonymity when doing financial transactions online. When receiving payments, the sender doesn’t normally see your address as it is not required to complete payment. If you send an invoice, you may hide address, etc.

To display a business name/business info to public, open a business account as “individual”, if you’re not a registered business. Even then, 100% anonymity can’t be guaranteed. However, do take the time to go through all feature(s) settings and account settings, adjusting to preference before accepting payments. Use real account holder/home info though. No fake name as account holder, for example
