someone has asked me to give them my paypal name so they can pay me for a car i am selling.  I have never received payment by pay pal before so was wondering what information I should give them.

Firstly never ever accept paypal for a car.............there is no paypal seller protection for cars...........cash on collection only.

 

Secondly read this as i strongly suspect this may be happening to you:

 

Be VERY careful selling cars/large items if the buyer is keen to use paypal and states they are working abroad or sending to a friend etc and need a shipping agent to pick it up..

You then get a FAKE paypal email saying you have been paid extra so you can pay the shipping agent for them via western union and the payment is released to you after you have done that.

It is a scam to get that western union payment, they don't want your car and the shipping agent is just a scam to get that payment.

They are nearly always in Nigeria and can't even own a paypal account.
