When I send a money request to someone, are they able to see my mailing address?

Earlier I sent someone a money request, I wasn't fully aware of how PayPal worked and I thought I could add it to some digital account but I guess I can't. They accepted the request but then I issued a refund before trying to get the money through mail or anything. Do they now have access to my mailing address? Or is it safe because I didn't request it to be shipped to my house?

No, a PayPal money request is you asking someone for a payment and it has a link/button in the email for them to pay. Your physical address is not shown in the request, nor in the payment transaction details. Just your name or business name (for PayPal business accts) so sender know who they are paying money to/who is requesting the money.
