Why do I have so much fees to pay in order to receive the money from someone

Someone send me $500 but in order to receive it I have to pay a never-ending fees one after another thru mercuryo. Is this legal process or a scam?

You never pay any upfront fee as a seller or to receive money.

Ignore scammers that send fake Paypal emails telling you that you need to pay an upfront fee to verify/upgrade/or any other reason to 'accept' a payment.

You would certainly never have to send funds via another payment processor/bitcoins/ or tokens/vouchers of any sort.

Any fee is auto deducted by Paypal at the same instant the remainder of the payment is credited to your Paypal account balance.

No funds in your balance = you have not yet been paid, even pending/held payments will still show in your Paypal account activity.
