Using email to receive money in my PayPal Account

[LavonneKay]

I used my regular email to sign up with PayPal and it is my confirmed email.   I want to be sure I have the information correct.  All I have to do is give my email to someone who will be sending money to my PayPal account even though it is my regular email?

Hi @LavonneKay Thank you for communicating with us. You are correct. If the email is already confirmed, you will only need to provide your email address to the sender. I hope this helps.
