Paypal

I have a Paypal account that I use to purchase stuff from ebay.
I always used the account to pay money out. But now I need to sell some Acura parts online. And Im not sure how paybal works for me as a seller
Should I give the buyer my Paypal email address and ask him to send me money to my account... Iam not sure what to do
As a seller do I pay any fees?? Please help me I am confused.

It depends on the amount of the items being sold. If you say you accept paypal, you can link the item to your paypal account. That way they can just click through the links on the auction and you don't have to share your email. If what you're selling is under 3k, then it's 3%.
You used to see people put "if you use paypal add x% to the final price" to make up for the fees, but nowdays I rarely see that anymore. You can always try to make up a bit of the fee costs with "shipping and handling" fees.

Here are the fees:

FWIW, I haven't sold anything on ebay in a while, but when I used to sell stuff, paypal was the way to go. I used to take money orders via mail back in 98-00 but that slowed the whole process down. In 2001 I sold my first item using paypal and I never looked back.
