Regardless of how you receive money throught PayPal - the funds are always deposited into your PayPal account balance first. If you plan to send an invoice - note, there is a transaction processing fee - 2.9% plus $.30 on the total amount - for example, if you invoice someone for $600, PayPal will charge you $17.70 and deposit the remainder ($582.30) into your account balance. You could use PayPal.ME assuming you don't have a Business account - if you have a Business account, a request using PayPal.ME is automatially a request for funds as "goods and services" and again, you will be charged a transaction processing fee. See this info for PayPal.ME.
