How safe is it to post my paypal email online?

I have a website on which I wanted to share my paypal email address so that my readers can make optional personal contributions. I am worried though that someone malevolent might be able to somehow withdraw funds or hack my paypal account if they know the email address associated with it. If my understanding is correct, giving out your email address is the only way for someone (a friend, a relative, or other) to send you a personal contribution. So I am safe in sharing my paypal with my readers? Thank you.

Well every single person using paypal have to give their email address to get payment.

You are not giving them your password as well are you  Smiley Wink
