How to Find Your PayPal account Number
After Creating your PayPal account, when next someone ask for your PayPal ID or Account in order to send you some money, kindly give the person your PayPal email address.

Unlike other online payment systems, PayPal deal on Email to receiving payments. In that case your email is your PayPal account number (the email you used to register with PayPal).

PayPal Payment link VS Email Address
Which one is better to use as your PayPal account number? Your email or your custom link?

Well the both will help Get your money but i will recommend using the Payment link as that’s the best and more convenient way for many reasons.

I have seen many cases where the sender type wrongly your email address even when you issued it to them correctly. In most other cases you may also do the mistake when giving them your email.

Now when such errors are made, It will make you loose money especially when the funds are sent to the wrong address via FNF instead of GNS where you may likely find it easy to charge back.

When you give them your payment link they don’t need to type any email address instead they only input the amount they want to pay and complete their payment easily. The payme link will help you receive your payment without having issues of sending to the wrong address/PayPal account number.
