The email address you use with Paypal identifies your Paypal account and is all someone needs to pay you or your mobile number if using the app.
Or 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 'recieved but not as described' dispute.
If in doubt come here and ask and also read up on Paypals seller protection first so you can risk assess your transactions.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.
