paypal help - does my name and address HAVE to be on everything?

[ClareVoyant]

i've just been told that people can see everything before they've even put their cash in (it's a site we're using for donations)... i don't fancy this one bit.

did i do something wrong when i set up the account? can i change it? i'm sure it said 'make details visible' and i said no.

please help, i am a bit yicked by everyone having my name and address...

If you are selling, under the Distance Selling regulations (not within Ebay or Paypal's control) then yes
otherwise not sure what you mean
when people buy stuff through paypal they do not get the sellers details unless they are a business

i'm not selling, though, it's just for donations that people are making to my site upkeep. sorry for not answering before btw, was off trying to persuade children to GO TO SLEEP.

If they are making donations then surely you are a business seller? Have you set up a merchant account by accident instead of a premier account?

perhaps i have, yes. i set it up yonks ago for my own personal ebay use, i've never sold, just bought. should i/could i set up a business one? do they charge for that?
