Most websites that are legit and safe don't ask for your paypal number only the email address but there are a rare few that ask for the account number, but I tend to be very skeptical of so called earning sites that ask for my paypal account ID number I would recommend that you do more research about the site before submitting your papal info especially your papal ID number because your account could be hacked easily if you submit the wrong info or too much info to the wrong site so just keep that in mind.

Hello, you mean the paypal id? I think there is not much risk in giving the paypal ids to the persons if your password is too strong. I think in many situations, people use very less strength passwords. But, we should have a password which could not even guessed by our friends and family.

A pleasant day DoctorDidi, With reference to your query, it is not safe to reveal your paypal account number to anybody. As this number is truly confidential.

There is no harm in sharing your paypal email address with others so that they are able to send money to you. Now, as far as the unique account number that you have on your paypal account, I don't think that there is any reason that you should ever have to share that with anyone. That, I protect, even when I am posting proof of payment from various sites, I will always make sure that I black out my account number.

When on a website that asks for PayPal verification if they ask for anything more than the address don't do it. Websites that ask for PayPal verification will only ask for the address.

Either way it goes if they ask for more than what is normally needed it is a scam.

I have shared my paypal ID and password to a friend online whom I trust. There are some issues concerning my paypal account and she is just helping me out with it by signing in to my account.

You can reveal your paypal account email address (because there is no paypal account number) to some sites or someone but not to just any site or person.

Even if we can guarantee the paypal's secured site, you must be cautious in all your moves involving financial accounts.
