HELP ME, CUZ APPARENTLY I'M AN IDIOT.

Okay, so... I'm in contact with a person who is buying some of my things (offline), and has listed PayPal as a form of payment. PayPal seems to be the best form of payment they offer, so I went and made myself an account and all that good stuff. Now, my name is Charles Jones, which is like the quintessential common name. I don't wanna say "yeah, just go online and search Charles Jones in the PayPal thing!!"
How do I give him my account; what do I give him to find me and pay me? PayPal hasn't made it clear to me for handling any dealings done offline, and all I can think is giving them the URL and I doubt that's right.
Can anyone shed some light for me?

First be VERY CAREFUL as there are lots of scams around and one of them is when a buyer is keen for you to set up a paypal account so they can scam you.

Is it an international transaction?

Is it a motor vehicle or similar?

Some info would be good.

Secondly if you want to go ahead all someone needs to pay you is the email addy that you used to set up your paypal account that identifies that account.

Thanks, I appreciate it.
And no, just a company up in Connecticut that's buying a bunch of my old trading cards.
They seem legit enough. lol
