You shouldn't be giving them your account number. You should be giving them your e-mail for your paypal account or you should be selling on a website where they can click a link to pay through paypal.

PayPal doesn't have account numbers?? If you want someone to send you money, all you should ever give them is the email address to send it to. That's it.
