I am brand new to Paypal.  So all I have to do is give someone my email address and they can make a paypal payment?  This sounds too easy.  How does the money get into my account?

Hi @bevloxter. Thank you for contacting PayPal. I am happy to assist you today. I understand your concern about receiving payment. 

With PayPal, you receive money when someone sends a payment to your email address or mobile number. Once that happens, we’ll send you a message letting you know you have money available.

You can access your money from your PayPal Cash account or PayPal Cash Plus account by going to the Summary page. You can then choose to:

• Transfer the funds to your bank account, or
• Keep the funds in your PayPal account and use your available balance to send money to friends and family or to shop online
   

To accept the money, you’ll need to open a PayPal account and confirm your email address. 
Thank you!
