    I often use paypal to pay for items on Ebay or other auction sites. I've never requested/received money through Paypal. Do I have to set up my account any different? Do I just give someone my email address for my paypal account and they can pay me? Any experience or suggestions are appreciated.

    they can just pay you using the email address. Nothing special required.

    If you have a free account, and they other people send you money from their balance or checking, there is no fee.

    Never leave more than $5 in your Paypal account.

    You can also click the "request money" tab and enter their email and the amount you want them to send. Then they just click on the invoice in their email to pay.
