For your bank info, if you have a checkbook, all your bank info will be on the bottom of the check in a series of numbers:
Typically the routing number (first 9 digits) is followed by a group 8 or 9 digits that indicates the particular account number at that bank, and the last 3-4 digits is the particular check number from that account.
Hope this helps.

Just give them your Email account that you signed up with.
For instance, if you were Sleeper6@gmaildotcom, they'd log in to PayPal, go to "send money", type in the info, and type Sleeper6@gmaildotcom as the recipient. Then you gatet an exciting Email at that address, letting you know that you got money :)

Jesse is right.

When someone sends money with paypal, all they need is the address you use to sign into paypal.

Alright thanks guys, I kept looking for a proper account number with numeric digits and such so that makes things easier. I take it once its in the paypal account I just have to click on it and tell them to deposit it into my bank account then?
