Depends on your source of funds - a prepaid cred it card works well. If you are talking about bank transfer, while unlikely it CAN result in linkage since a manual review by pp agent will show the account holder's TRUE name.
I just go to walmart and get a greendot ( it will say eb ay, Pa ypal on it). you can load it for any amount. keep in mind you can only transfer $500 yearly from that card to pay pal.
