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. Answer from 00-d-_-b-00 on reddit.com
