Seller wants my paypal id, im a little confused
Every PayPal account has a "merchant account ID" which is just the unique ID that your account gets inside the PayPal system. When people send you money they can use your account email or merchant ID as the location for the funds to be sent. If he's refunding you though, he should just use the refund link available inside the transaction details. More on reddit.com

r/paypal on Reddit: What info does Paypal show someone when I pay them with my account?
April 15, 2023 -

After reading this, if I understand correctly, when sending money to a

  • Personal account: they see your name, avatar, and only if you've chosen to share it, your mailing address.

  • Business account: they see your name, email, "if they need to contact you about your purchase" your phone number, and "if you bought something that needs to be mailed" your mailing address.

But it's not always very clear what is actually being shown to the user you're paying. For example I paid an invoice to someone with a Business account with my Personal account, and it doesn't explicitly show me anywhere if my name or the email tied to my Paypal was sent. It also doesn't clarify if my phone number was sent, and as for mailing address it does say "This purchase is a digital good and will not be shipped to an address." so I guess that means it didn't send my mailing address. Or did it?

I might just ask the person I paid what they see. But still, it baffles me that with Personal accounts there doesn't seem to be a way to obscure say your name, or any clear controls to easily determine whether or not you want to send your name, email, phone number or mailing address to someone.

For example I paid an invoice to someone with a Business account with my Personal account, and it doesn't explicitly show me anywhere if my name or the email tied to my Paypal was sent. No, it doesn’t because, what info you see on your end of the other party, the other party will also see the same info of yours on their end. You do not get to see explicit proof on your end what info the other party gets to see. For example, if you log on to your Account activity page right now and look at a transaction, you’ll see the other party’s name, avatar, etc. You can rest assured that the other party will see your name, avatar, etc on their Activity page/transaction as specified by PayPal on that link. The only exception is the shipping address if you provided it at checkout. You don’t get to see the seller’s physical address because it’s not required to conduct a transaction. PayPal doesn’t usually show phone number unless the seller enables a setting on their end that require you to provide a phone number for which you will be prompted. But on that setting it notes that PayPal doesn’t recommend using it. it baffles me that with Personal accounts there doesn't seem to be a way to obscure say your name, or any clear controls to easily determine whether or not you want to send your name, email, phone number or mailing address to someone. In financial transactions, people and businesses needs to know who they doing business with. Ya can’t just hide yourself.

March 27, 2023 - Enter the amount of money you want to ask for and the friend’s email address to receive money. Then hit “Confirm”. The request will be sent, and your friend will get an email. When you receive an international transfer, PayPal charges a fixed fee for personal transactions (based on currency received).² For example, receiving Euros would cost 0.35 EUR. While this fee is paid by the sender, you’ll receive less money as a result.
