So if I have PayPal and I want to pay someone else who has PayPal by I don't want them to know the email address I have associated with my PayPal account AND I don't want them to have my surname or my postal address, how do I do that?

Hi DorsetGuy,

Welcome to the community forum and thanks for posting.

PayPal does not offer a feature to pay anonymously. A recipient of a payment will see your name and your email address. Your postal address will be available to a recipient of a payment if you send a payment for goods that would need to be delivered. The recipient will not see the financial information, which is kept private in your account. To learn more, go to the PayPal website and click the ‘Help & Contact’ link near the top of the page.

I hope this helps,

Intars
