What info do I give someone to pay me by PayPal?

Hi,

I have just set up a PayPal account and someone wants to pay me money. I can't find any information about what information they need to know to send me the money! I've tried PayPal contact but they don't seem to understand the question.

I need to tell them... "send the money to ......???"

Thanks
Torgwen.......... :) ...........

  • Yup, so say I signed up to Paypal using [EMAIL="axewieldingduck@hotmail.com"]axewieldingduck@hotmail.com[/EMAIL] (I didn't!), I 'd tell anyone sending me funds to send them to [EMAIL="axewieldingduck@hotmail.com"]axewieldingduck@hotmail.com[/EMAIL]. :)
