    I wouldn't do it. I'd be too nervous to give them my account e-mail info. That's probably what they're after/phishing for. It's tempting, but you have to think...Who in their right mind would do this? You could get the buyers account e-mail and call PayPal and ask them to verify that it's a legit account and see what they think/say. Sometimes it's just better to be safe than sorry. As the old adage goes...If it's too good to be true, it probably is. GL.

    You should ask him to give you his full name and PP account email so you can email him directly at that email address and see if he responds. Then, call PP and confirm that his PP account is a legit account under his name.

    I highly recommend Life-Lock as well.
