To send an invoice the other way around, Unless you suggest to the seller you'll make a direct for the sum of (£???) PayPal payment to his PayPal email. ?

Good point... If you're buying through eBay then he already has the email address he needs

Yes send him the email address linked to your paypal account.
Check your inbox for the email from paypal & select pay now.

Have you not got an email account then? Give him your email details and ask him to send you an invoice to that which you can then pay by paypal; you do NOT need to give your paypal account details, if anyone asked for mine in similar circumstances I would suspect a con and cease all communication..... ::) ::)

You can send him any e-mail address you choose, doesn't have to be linked to your PayPal account...

With just a few clicks, you can get paid by debit card, credit card, or PayPal transfer. All you need to request a secure payment is their email address, even if they don’t have an existing account with us.

I nearly bought a belly pan for my fazer from an ebay breaker.
The item posted on ebay was for a later model, he had the correct one so I passed my paypal email address & received the invoice. i changed my mind & emailed the seller accordingly.
