But I donât think itâs directly tied to the username I gave Kofi, so heâd need to go dig through it, then cross reference the dates/times/amounts to figure it out. Plus, it also exposed his name, so that makes me a little less worried about it

Itâs a massive barrier to me donating to stuff. I could spare a few dollars but am wary of risking my financial security or leaking my details.

FWIW, I have paid/donated to things with pseudonyms before, and Iâve never had my bank block them before. Youâre not meant to, and if your bank isnât shit like mine, they should block it (especially if a credit card). Another option is using one of those visa gift card doo-dads, but idk if they work with PayPal

I did once or twice but donât take risks now
