You have got to be joking.

 

You would seriously consider giving your banking info to an international stranger???????

 

You have heard about scams have you?

 

For a start the whole point of using paypal is keep your financial information hidden.

 

Also if they are asking you to be a middleman then you will find you will probably get money in your paypal balance > pay it on to someone and then face a load of chargebacks that will put your balance into negative and you will end up with a large debt.

 

Suggest you do some reading on online security.
