- socalgal2 1y agoCan I send money to someone else and then have them pay? Example: etsy knows who I am but maybe every individual store does not? Similarly patreon knows who I am but each person I'm supporting does not? How about only fans?

- slaw 1y agoIt's not you transferring money, it is Etsy, Patreon,.. they have to know recipient.
