I'm wondering if when someone pays me via Paypal, what personal information they are able to see? Name? Address? Phone number? For contract work, customers already have that information. I'm just thinking that for somebody buying a $5 ebook, they don't need to have all my info (there are a lot of weirdos out there). Also, is there any difference for personal vs. premier vs. business accounts regarding this?
Well, they will definitely know your name, your email address, the country you are in ,what type of Paypal account you have and whether it is verified or not. They will not see your Address or Phone Number unless you publish them. If you use a Business Account, they will see your business name otherwise the name you registered with Paypal would show up. This is a typical email you get from Paypal after you make payment
