Yeah, it's not the link name I want to change which is Philminator, I'm ok with that. It's the displayed name underneath which I thought was business name, but it ends up that was my personal name.

I wish I didn't have to display my last name and the city I live in. Is there a privacy setting for that? ... View more

I for the life of me can't figure out on my own, why I can't simply change the name. I can change my Business name overall, but not the PayPal.me donation part of it.    I noticed some people saying you can't change it, but they were old topics, so I want to double check here, as that sounds absolutely ridiculous, that you couldn't simply edit the name displayed.   Lastly, I will be putting this link on my YouTube channel, how do I set it up for potentially monthly recurring donations? I saw another YouTuber do it, but mine doesn't show that option, is it because I set mine up for business and his is personal?   I've contacted customer servince in an e-mail, to revert back to personal, since I originally thought you needed a business account, in order to have PayPal.me ...
