How can I let people send me money via PayPal without them seeing my PayPal account info?
Two things to start of with: one, I don't know if this is the right StackExchange website for this, and second of all, my title doesn't make much sense, so her is the concept of the question:
I would like to receive donations over PayPal, but I don't want people to see my PayPal email, full name, address, etc. Basically, they pay money to the website, who then pay it to me (probably with taxes knowing companies that handle money). I have heard Patreon has such a thing, but I haven't checked to get it confirmed.
So here is my question: is there any (non sketchy) website that allows me to be anonymous when receiving money?

The thing to look at is PayPal's "PayPal.me" service, which is a pretty neat little item. When you sign up for a PayPal.me account (totally free), you create a unique username. So for example, my PayPal.me account name is DanCAnderson. I can give someone the following web link to send me 0:
paypal.me/DanCAnderson/500
If you click the link above, you'll see what the user sees (my company name is Salt River Networks, Inc.). I gave a live link so you can see the working example of it (no need for anyone to send money! chuckle).
I can change the amount by simply changing the value at the end of the URL.
When they go to that link, they see a landing page with your name on it and the amount to send to you, then they go through the normal process of paying via PayPal.
It's a pretty neat service, and I've used to it bill a few clients for work I've done by emailing that link to them rather than going through the whole PayPal procedure.
What you are thinking about is bitcoin probably where people are and can be anonymous. I would suggest you to look that up.
