1. The email address you use with Paypal identifies your Paypal account and is all someone needs to pay you.
2. Your phone number identifies your Paypal account if using the app.
3. If you have set up a paypal.me link you can send that but make sure the buyer ticks the goods/services option to pay (if the f/f option is available in your country).
4. You can send a money request/invoice from your Paypal account to their Paypal email address for them to pay.
The latter is better as you can then fully describe the item that your buyer is paying for and that may help you if they open a received but not as described dispute.
You may be subject to the new seller hold (info on that in link below) but once cleared you can click on withdraw/transfer funds and send it to any linked funding source approved for withdrawals for the country you are in.

You may need to verify first.

Remember no funds in your balance = you have not been paid, so beware of scams. Even if funds are on hold or pending they will show in your paypal account balance and activity.
