Possible scam?

I am selling an item and the receiver wants to pay me using PayPal. I sent my email address, but then my phone receives a code from PayPal which expires in 10 mins and is not to be given to anyone else. She is requesting this code to make sure payment is going to the right person. I have not experienced this before. Is this correct procedure for receiving a payment?
