I have a person feigning interest in buying something from me. I generated a QR code and gave it to them and they are now saying that they need my e-mail address as they have a PayPal business account. Is this right? It smells fishy........

Lots of scams around, no harm giving them your email address for payment but would be better to ask them for their email address and send them a money request or invoice.
If its a scam you will get fake spoof paypal emails but no funds in your paypal account balance.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.
