Send money and hide your name?
Does anyone know any online payment service that lets you hide your first and last name? i don't have a business so i can't get a paypal business account and paypal doesn't allow personal account holders to hide their name.
Any services that only show email addresses or a nickname? moneybookers?
By the way, anyone know how to send paypal feedback to tell them to have a feature to only show a nickname instead of a real name? i keep emailing paypal this but they always email back saying "sorry we dont allow you to hide your name", even though i told them i am giving them an idea, not a question.

You dont have to have a business to get a PayPal Business account. As far as my hosting goes, Im not a full on business but I still have a business account.

It's best to have an actual registered business if you're going to own a PayPal business account. PayPal may ask you to submit business registration documents at random checks and if you're unable to submit the documents you'll be stuck limited.

Correct, a premier account with show the account holders first and last name. Out of curiosity why are you wanting to hide your name for?

If someone were trying to hide their name via a payment method, I'd most definitely refund the payment immediately (and tell them to go elsewhere), or not send the payment to them, depending on which it is.
There's a time when privacy is acceptable (whois), and a time when it's just flat out NOT acceptable. Hiding payment information (ie: who you are) is most definitely the latter.Tom Whiting, WHMCS Guru extraordinaire
