Guys I feel like a complete moron but I have no idea how to use PayPal. I'm supposed to invoice someone with it, so I signed up for an account, but I have no idea HOW to invoice someone, or, more importantly, how to get the money once they pay my invoice.

I am a total NOOB I know, but I am finding the Paypal site surprisingly unhelpful. GRRRR.

click on the "request money" tab - that's what people mean by "invoice". Then you enter in an email address and an amount, and when they pay, the money is in your account, which you can withdraw to your bank account via the "my account" tab: withdraw->transfer to a bank account.

You also have to have a special kind of PayPal account in order to recieve money, the basic accounts are just for paying other people. So first make sure you have the right kind of Paypal account, I think you have to give PayPal a bank account to link it to for that.
