Upgrade Uzi Gaming's PayPal to Business

[Mxlitary]

I think I have asked Uzi to do something like this in the past for security reasons to allow him to accept payments though a credit or debit card, but I will make a thread to hear your input.

Pros:

Spoiler

By upgrading to a business PayPal, Uzi would be able to hide your email and use a business name instead (Uzi Gaming), accept credit and debit card payments, and create and save your own payment buttons.

Uzi would also be able to simply let people donate by pressing a button and entering their Uzi Gaming username instead of having them PM him for the email address.

Cons:

I think this would be a better idea, since it would also help from skids disputing payments just to try and mess up paypal, it would also help precent it from being limited

I changed my email anyway. I would upgrade my PayPal account to Business although it says I need to enter all my information, e.g. house phone, home address, postcode, etc.

It then says that the information I provide will be viewable by everyone who pays to my PayPal. I don't understand that, but if my information isn't hidden then I'm not going to upgrade.

PayPal says it keeps your information safe. I highly doubt they would give your address to just anyone. The only time people should need your home address is when you need them to ship you something.

WARNING I have past experiences with PayPal.

Paypal basically looks for every/any reason to limit your paypal, however business is safest if you have a flow of a certain price of payments. Example my premium on my site is $1.50 and lifetime is $15 and I set my average to $1-15 or something and it's normal. So basically I highly recommend upgrading to Business it's the safest you'll get it.

Because, one time a skid disputed because we banned him for advertising, it lost us $50+ on paypal and had to get a new one.

I click on the link to "Upgrade" my PayPal account, and this is what it says (make sure to look at the red box):

Change IP or UK VPN
Make new account and make it business to begin with
Logout
Turn off VPN
Login original account
Send that to new paypal
Logout & use new one for now on?

The main reason I'm wanting to switch to a Business PayPal account is to change my name, but when I click on "Business Name Change (change contact name)" it says this:

That seems like a quite a lot of hassle from my perspective, just to change my Contact Name.

When you upgrade to a business PayPal, it allows you to change your contact name, so every time you purchase something from me, my business name shows up: Mxlitary

Spoiler

I don't see my contact information there either.
