Hello,
You have to stay in the mode "Store paid directly" unless you're using an off-line payment method such as "collect on delivery".
CF :

By using the "Paypal Adative" payment plugin in "classical mode", you will continue to provide a Paypal payment method but your vendors would be able to be paid directly if they provide they paypal email address.
The customer will still be redirected to Paypal website but with the vendor account as receiver instead of your store.
If the vendor do not have a paypal account, your store will receive the money and would have to pay the vendor as you already checked.
