Seller asked me to give them my paypal details?

Question

I’m going to buy an item off Facebook market but I’m a little confused. The seller hasn’t weighed the item yet so hasn’t told me the price of p and p on top of the item price. The seller has asked for my PayPal details, but I thought that the seller is meant to send me an invoice via email, or she could inform me of the price and since I have her phone number I could send that through via that method. Could someone abit more informed than me let me know? Can’t find much online, thanks so much

You're the one paying him, you sound be getting his details so that's a red flag. I wouldn't buy this off the man, buy off a trusted site like eBay or Amazon. Fb marketplace sucks

You pay through paypal , so they don't need to know. I quit trying to sell on there because they would not let me sell half my items. No knives, No world war 2 items. People also would not come to my store to buy item.

From what I know the transaction goes through PayPal. This sounds like a scam.

Don't do it. Your right, they have to invoice you though email. You don't give them a thing.

If something don't smell right, walk away

The seller should give you their PayPal account if that's how you're going to pay.
