I am attempting to set up a campaign of sorts to raise money to help me go back to school after being away for 10 years. I was super excited. I sat down to make the posts and immediately hit a wall.
Paypal used to have a way to set up donation pages and you could sort of customize them and at least change the information they displayed.
Now they only have this thing called "paypal.me" that has almost no options. You get to change the color and the display picture. But you can't change the name that's displayed on this very public facing page. Because it's tied to a financial account, that name is your full legal name. No option to even hide it.
I contacted them about this issue and I have received two very dense and unhelpful replies. Neither of which actually addressed the issue. The latter one was just a copy/paste of their help doc about how to fix your account if you have the wrong name. My latest reply used the word "discrimination" at least twice. I've never been one to really throw that word around but oh GOD was I angry.
I did finally get a reply but it was basically that nothing can be done. But they'll forward my suggestion on to the people who handle that stuff.
I've worked in customer service enough to know that's utter bunk and the information probably went nowhere.
gofundme is huge these days, try going there?
