I have a question. I just signed up for an ebay account, and I plan to pay for whatever I buy via paypal. The thing is, I want to know exactly what information the seller gets about me. I know through ebay I'm only known by my ID, but when I pay with paypal I think my FULL NAME is revelead.

The address is needed to send the item, but why my full name? I wish papPal allows its users the option to be known with user IDs instead of their real names. I don't feel comfortable donating something for example, if too much information is given about me. =\

so my question is: anyway to avoid this?

oh and adelgary: what happend to the MGS avatars.. :(

Your avatar is too tall.

Edit: Good boy.

I dont know whats more funny. The actual thought of being called a good boy. Or the fact that you commented on my avatar. Makes me laugh either way. And yeah what happened to the MGS avatars i want them back. Cause looking at your new avatar makes me think things i shouldnt.

If you're buying stuff via paypal, the person receiving the payment is going to get your name and address to send your stuff to.

I can't image the postman would be too happy delivering to

Somewhere

especially as I think he has to go to some effort to deliver the mail to the named party.

Why don't you just change your name by deed poll?
