How to have invoice sent to Paypal Account?

Hi,

 

I've been using PayPal through ebay for a while now for the basics of sending receiving money.

 

I've recently been looking at some products from a seller called Carbonzone on ebay based in China.  They have very good feedback and are well thought of on numerous cycling forums.  I have not seen a negative comment about them.

 

They also sell items that are not listed on ebay and I have asked for a price for one of these items and they have asked me to forward details of my paypal account so that they can forward an invoice?

 

I have not heard of this before.  How is this done and is it safe?

 

Thanks for your time and please excuse my ignorance - as I say I've only ever used Paypal for the basics!

I have made a purchase that the seller has indicated he can accept payment through paypal however he is requesting my paypal account email address to send the invoice too and I don't recall ever being asked for this before when making a transaction. Can you advice. Thanks

Hey there guys,

 

In order for a seller to send you an invoice or money request direct to your PayPal account they need your email address.

 

This is all they need though, nothing else.

 

Once the payment is not send as a personal payment you will still have your coverage though PayPal.
