Need some help with the right name variations
 

For my stealth accounts I need a verified PayPal account and link this to eBay. I added a real (never used) bank account to PayPal for verification.

I am going to use a variation of my own name. Can I just use the 1st letter of my first name and a misspelled family name? For example: my real (suspended) name is: Michael Jackson. Can I use M. Jakson?.. Or does PayPal and eBay want a full first name?

Thank you in advance!!!

I have used initials with no problem...

Both single and combined with a middle initial.... Family name as it is or mispelled is fine, as long as it isn't a particularly unusual one.

Be careful I have used just the intials in the past no problems. Just recently a couple of my accounts have it where PayPal requested a name change but it could only be a few letters off. For example if your name was Jason and you use J then to correct with PayPal you would have to use Ja or Jas or even Jo. It was a half limited but they wanted my to correct it right away and I did. Like everybody keeps saying PayPal change thier whole game this year everything that use to work doesn't probably because of abuse. I always wonder how many PayPal accounts have been opened period limited open closed etc....
