I mean on the receiving end. Example..i get sent a moneypak. I deposit it into my paypal. Can the person who purchased it / sent it to me see any details ?

No.  The can't even determine when it was used. 

The only thing they know for sure is it was used and that is only if they try to use the PIN after you do.  Now GreenDot well they know everything.

There are security cameras at every retail location selling these things so if some one want to find out who you are then can.

I've received quite a few moneypaks (especially before I started trading bitcoins) I was wondering..Just how safe/anonymous are they?

For example..Can the person look up the number online and will it say something like "deposited: paypal 384483834" or "deposited visa ending in 4322"

Or can they not see anything at all?
