I posted an electronic item for sale online. I received a text from someone saying they are interested in buying it, but that they want me to ship it overseas, and will pay extra to cover the postage and fees. They stated they would like to use PayPal for paying me. They asked me to send them a money request to their PayPal ID. Am I safe logging in and sending them a request for money? Will they be able to access my personal information, bank information and other private details by sending them a request for money? Will I be given an address through the funds transfer that PayPal will protect me shipping to them? I hate to turn away someone who is legitimately wanting to buy my item, but at the same time, I didn't expect to have to ship it internationally. I've only used PayPal for eBay auctions and never as a stand alone money transfer. Thanks for your reply!
