Stranger sending me money via PayPal how hide personal info
 
Someone wants to send me a small sum of money via paypal.

Its an internet friend and I don't want my personal name and address to be revealed when they make payment.

How to go about keeping it hidden? Can I create a new PayPal account with stealth info and not link to a bank account? I don't need to withdraw the money, just need to be able to spend it online.

Thanks in advance :)

Can turn your account into a business account and use your business name or of course can make a new paypal.. but this seems like a whole lot of work just to hide your name from a internet friend

Making a new account and possibly getting the money stuck in there is way too much trouble.

If I were you I'd just take the money in my personal account. If the person is that sketchy don't take their money.

OP is the one who doesn't want his/her name and info reveal phaz...so the sketchy part is on the OP :)

Upgrade to business - Use a made up business name

Yes, the business name is the one that appears when making a payment to/receiving a payment from a business account. This applies to all business PayPal accounts, worldwide.

Wouldn't fly in USA since they require your business's EIN when you upgrade, AFAIK.

Oh well. I was honestly surprised to hear that's even possible in UK with as regulated and locked-down as UK is.

On USA business accounts you're given the option to choose which name shows up. You can have it either show your personal name, your business name, or both.

I know this because one of my business accounts shows my stealth + LLC name when I send invoices or make payments, while another one only shows the LLC name.

Somethings are overreglated others are not

Here you can upgrade the PayPal to a business account but without need of company formation. You can have it under an individual name still or a sole trader both of which dont need a Ltd to be formed.

when you send the payment choose " no shipping required". In that case they will not see your address, but still your name will be visible.

For upgrading to a Business account they wont.

But if you're activities are deemed risky (even with a personal account), they'll request you to submit proof etc.
