Re: Name mismatch question
As long as your real name isn't super unique then in theory this could work, but there's also the possibility of it failing down the line.
You can technically put the Paypal business name as anything, so yes you could use your real name as the "business name" and your bank would then see deposits from your "business name". But I would imagine if for whatever reason you had to call Paypal or a Paypal rep looked into your account, they would wonder why the name of your business is some guy's name and I don't think that would end well.
If you do decide to do this, you may have to remove the bank and re-add it. At the withdrawal screen, check to see what Paypal says the name on the bank account is. I believe it would still say your old business name, which is why you may need to remove & re-add it.
Though a better option would be to open or convert your current bank account to a business bank account if that bank offers it. I'm sure they would be fine with the deposits then, without having to do this workaround. And if this is one of your main accounts, it's best not to risk it.
