Auctionchex and paypal - confused

I've just had a buyer win one of my auctions and she's sent me an email saying:
I will be paying via Paypal through https://www.auctionchex.com, it will still go straight into your Paypal account, as if I would be paying you direct, and is from Paypal funds not a credit card.

I've never used auctionchex before, so they've sent me an email saying they've set an account up for me and I've logged on and can see the pending payment from my buyer.

But I'm confused.

Will the payment automatically end up in my paypal account? Or do I have to claim it from the auctionchex account? Are there any fees to receive the money into my auctionchex account? And if the money doesn't automatically go into my paypal account then is there a cheaper way of getting it out of auctionchex?

Thanks very much, Susie.

    Did you agree to this before they won your item?

    No I didn't. Isn't that clear from my post? I know she shouldn't just assume that I'll accept it, but provided I get my money in the end without having to pay any more fees than paypal would charge me I don't mind in this case since I know auctionchex is reputable.
