Thanks for writing, Olivia. Just to be totally clear, even if everything else is correct -- my address, telephone number, bank account, etc. I CANNOT use a psuedonym or I might jeopordize my account (s)? I looked into opening another business account, where you are able to assign a DBA as your name, would this route work? Except that it would seem to me your address, phone number, etc. would then show on the receipt.   Oh, this would solve so many problems if I could do a personal account without worrying about it **bleep**ing things up!   Thanks again.   >>Hi mjmk01, and welcome to the forums!   >>Making a donation is a fabulous thing to do, and I definitely understand the desire to remain anonymous. I would strongly recommend against using any false information at all, even if it is just the name. It's a condition of the User Agreement that all information provided to PayPal be accurate. Incorrect information can cause problems not only with that specific account, but also with any other accounts you possess. I would hate for unintended consequences to arise from you trying to do something nice!   Olivia ...
