We have absolutely NO way of knowing.
Normally a site will redirect you to PayPal.
If you are unsure the best thing to do is NOTHING. Simply find what you want somewhere else.

Sites can accept payment via PayPal, in which case you will be redirected on the PayPal site. Make sure that you are indeed on the PayPal site (look at the URL). That being said, because a site legitimately uses PayPal for payment doesn't mean that they are reputable or that they are not selling junk or scamming you. Be vigilant!
