    i don't get the option to choose if its a registered business account or not. Because i instantly have to fill in business adres, phone number, business contact. This is a problem since i want to be anonymous and only show the business name. (i also don't have a business adres and if i fill in my personal one im afraid it will show on the paypal) How do i get this option? Did i do something wrong? Please tell me if you have the time

    I have a question. If I want to have a business account, but I do not want to disclose my name on the invoices or name of the store or mailing account, would this help? Because right now I've been working selling things with invoices using my normal day to day paypal, but now I want to move amounts from Paypal to my actual bank account and is not possible if they don't share the same name. I guess in sum, what I'm trying to say is, if I use my irl name on the business account, I can still change the store name for something else?

Please check your information or use another card. Some of my clients even paid with the invoices . What's the reason behind that?

    How do you control what the customer sees listed on their bank statement for the business charge name and tag for your charge when it goes over? When you pay with paypal or a credit card it will have a tag there as it shows up on the bank transaction. I want to make sure it says business name and not my personal name, etc.

    • @simongondeck

    • @simongondeck
      @simongondeck  2 роки тому +3

      Good question, I would recommend that you use an email that you yourself own, and that it is separate from both your normal personal email AND your business. For example, let’s say my personal email is ‘sgondeck45@gmail.com’. For my day job, I also work at Comcast, and my work email is ‘sgondeck@comcast.com’. I wouldn’t use either of these emails when signing up for a PayPal Business account, and I would actually create a separate email address that I only use for my PayPal Business account, as this is the email address that users will see when they make payments to you and vice-versa. I hope that helps. So if I was planning on using my PayPal Business account to sell Basketball Shoes, I may create an email called ‘BasketballShoeCollector81818181@gmail.com’. I hope that helps and is clear to understand.

    I have so many questions, do you need to enter your real name ? And will your real name be shown to the recipient

    • @simongondeck
      @simongondeck  2 роки тому +2

      1: Yes you need to enter in your real first and last name when registering your PayPal Business account (Failure to do will result in PayPal Business rejecting you as they will be unable to verify you). 2: For PayPal Business, only your business name and email address will be shown to the recipient, not your first or last name.

    I understood absolutely nothing!
    Customers buy my products, but they need an Iban to be able to buy my products, which I didn't see in this video.
    No site transfers money to your paypal account with only a paypal username. I need iban and swift code, which is impossible to find on this paypal platform, where can i find iban????
