Giving out paypal details

Im sending a part from my benz yo' over to America and the buyer has asked for my paypal details. He seems genuine and has over 1000+ post on MBforum.

He'll not can suck funds from my account by giving him my brycexxxxxx2k12@whatever address?

Its exactly the same as you paying anyone with paypal, they then have your details.

Its pretty safe, I do it all the time.

No doesnt make any difference, its only an email address, even if you sent a money request then it still gives him basic details anyway.

Its as safe as any other details you can give anyone, no problem

Received payment already then read this below it:

Reversals:
Please be aware that your payment can still be reversed, (e.g. if it is subject to a chargeback), even after you have sent the item to your buyer. Complying with PayPal's protection programmes and following the trading guidelines, in our Safety Advice helps to protect you from things like chargebacks.

Should I concern myself too much?

If you've not got any money in your PayPal account they can't take anything from you.
