Action Needed for Freelancers to Update PayPal info

[Eimear Q]

I'm new to Upwork freelencing and tried to buy connects via our business Paypal. We have a business PayPal but has my partner name officially on it.

Now Upwork asking government ID for my partner but my profile is on my name?

I cannot find the email or help related to this anywhere and have been trying to contact Upwork. Can someone help how to contact customer service?

Hi!
I recenty connected my Upwork account to paypal. After I'm done I get a message saying: "the beneficiary name on your payment method does not match the name on your Upwork account."
The thing is: the name of my profile is an artistic nickname, but I've written my real name in the "Tax Information" section of the settings where you have to complete the W8 form. That name and the one in PayPal are exactly the same. 
Looking forward to any help I could have, specially from an Upwork employee.

I have PayPal account with an email address. When I try link my Upwork account also with an email address and the exact same name as my Upwork, I receive a notification that the PayPal account can't be verified as "The beneficiary name is mismatched". I don't understand this, what can I do to get some help?
