I've seen other threads that sort of ask this question, but I haven't found any concrete answers. Background: I'm beginning to accept tips/donations while live streaming and through my webiste and YouTube channel. I want to make sure that whomever sends me a tip doesn't also recieve my home address or phone number. So my questions are: If someone sends me money through my PayPal.me link, what information do they see about me in their transaction history? Similarly, if someone sends me money directly using my email address, what information do they see about me? I've seen mention of needing a business account to hide my home address, however, if I go Manage Invoices under Selling Tools, and then Settings > Business Information I can hide several pieces of information, and set "Apply information to:" All Invoices. Will setting this accomplish what I want? I appreciate the help!

I was also given the 21 day holding period today. I've had to give one refund over the lifetime of my account due to a package lost in the mail. Even that went smoothly. Feedback score on eBay is great. The only real blemish is an inquiry PayPal opened on Tuesday into a sale that happened the same day, which I have not received any information for as to why the inquiry was opened to begin with. It can't be any wrong doing on my part as the inquiry was opened with in 10 minutes of the eBay sale happening and the money ending up in my account. Barely enough time for me to notice I had a sale. As if times aren't hard enough, now I can't even access the money I have when I need it. We shall see if they have a good compromise come Monday. I can only hope they do, since there really isn't a solid alternative to PayPal that I can get all of my clients to switch to. So I would hate being taken for a ride because of that. Overall, I'm disappointed more than anything.
