Hello @Bloolamp0,
There's not normally a reason to provide your PayPal email address to an eBay seller unless they're having issues getting their eBay account setup and they just want to send you an invoice directly through PayPal. However, it's normally best to just go through the regular checkout experience and not provide that information to anyone directly asking for it.
Have a great day!
