I have provided my legal name to Paypal, but would prefer that any other users interacting with my account only identify me from my email address. How can I keep my name hidden from other users?

You can't, and personally i would not want to transact with anyone who wanted my name but would not supply theirs.
Also you can't use a fake name on a paypal account you would soon be limited and unable to withdraw funds.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.
