Hi all,
I'm trying to shift some unwanted stuff on Gumtree and someone from another city would like to buy my stuff. Yay! But she wants to pay via PayPal which I only have knowledge of for my own purchases through eBay. Boo.
Can anyone tell me what information I need from the seller for her to pay me through PayPal? What info does she need from me? Anything I need to be aware of?
Thanks

Give her your paypal email and she will send it. If you don't have one, go set up an account

You need her email address and you both need to have paypal accounts. She can either send you an invoice or you can send money to her email address through paypal

Sorry I got confused - thought you were buying. You can either send her an invoice or she can make a payment to your email address. Remember that you'll need to take paypal fees into account.

Paypoo is great, so long as you send the goods signed for delivery
do not, under any circumstances, ever, accept it for goods that are collected or delivered in person
and you HAVE to pay for tracking or they might do a chargeback
