Someone wants to buy a small item from me from craigslist. She is from a different state but its a very specific type of item. Did some searching and seems legit. What info do i send to allow her to put it in my acct. ? I usually buy things so....please help?

The email address you use with paypal identifies your paypal account and is all someone needs to pay you.
Remember to read up on seller protection first so you can risk assess your transaction.

Thanks! I signed up to community 2 days ago and got my first paypal scam email. It said i purchased netflix (didn't) and that if charge was incorrect click here ( which was a false paypal login page, address was wrong) i didnt sign in that but went in my account the normal way. Charge wasnt in there. Someone did a decent job and im sure this fools a lot of people.
