Firstly you are not supposed to "sell" using a personal account, if you are selling you need a business account.
Secondly >>>
HOWEVER be very careful as lot of scam merchants about.
1. Do not get scammed via spoof emails that look as if they are from paypal.
2. Never send anything unless the funds are showing in your paypal account balance, even if you are a new seller and subject to the new seller hold the funds would still show in your balance but have pending by them.
3. Do NOT send anything to Nigeria or similar.
4. Do not be fooled by you so called buyer and "paypal" telling you that you either have to >>>
a. Send the item and provide a tracking number BEFORE the funds show in your balance.
b. You have to pay the buyers shipping agent via western union or moneygram before his payment that is supposed to include these costs are credited to you.
5. Remember sellers send invoices and not buyers so if you get an invoice "marked as gift / paid" and saying it won't show in your balance for 24 hours or that your payment can't be the subject of a chargeback.....its a scam.
If in doubt come here and ask.
