I am new to the whole PayPal thing, so please forgive me because I have not one CLUE as to what I am doing. 😞 I have never shopped online before or even opened a bank account of any sort--I like dealing with cold cash in my hands since I'm a tech-idiot. But I have a new online 'job' or sorts which requires a PayPal account in order to receive money I earn there, so I made an account here so that I could Connect to the website which will be sending me money. My name at the website is a fake, and I used the same name on my personal PayPal account, but is that even necessary? Will that website see my real name if I were to use my real name in the PayPal account instead? Or do they only ever see just the email address? Does anyone ever see my real name on the account? I ask, because if I make a PayPal withdrawal, I'd be Requesting a Check be mailed to me, and from the looks of it that check automatically would be listed under my fake name and not my real one. I wouldn't be able to cash it.
