Great job PayPal, it's been so much time and still nothing! You've just proven once and for all that you don't care a single bit about your users. This thread has been going on for 3 years now, it has 17 pages total of users who request the same thing, 160 replies and a total of 45.555 views! That is the most of all the posts on the front page of the "Sending and receiving money" category on the forum. Still after all this time, effort and begging of your users for this feature, you still haven't implemented it or came up with a solution. What are you thinking PayPal? Last time (6 months ago) I said I was not just speaking for myself, but I'm in touch with many musicians who most often rely on PayPal for their online payments. Stuff like this makes me furious especially when it's common practice for brands or artists to rebrand their identity to stay relevant. Even an actual bank won't make such a big deal out of changing your name on your account and we aren't even asking for that much, it's a goddamn URL nothing more... I also come from a graphic design background AND I've spoken to several web developers about this and they all told me that it shouldn't be that hard to implement this feature. Seeing that PayPal simply refuses to take action and actually help their users, now it's enough. I'm making a video and social media posts about this subject matter, so that all my 53.000 followers will hear about this. Seeing most of those are musicians they probably will think twice about using PayPal as their main method of receiving money, especially when they find out about all this. An artist or brand can change their name and presence, and all their online social media will have to change with that, same for any payment links like PayPal.me. I don't think any artist or brand wants to be in the position we all are in right now, so expect a video coming someday soon and I'm going to spread this around to all the companies and artists I work within the music industry and believe me, I work with loads of bigger brands. In the meantime: does anybody know of a good alternative to PayPal?
