Hello @angeltarsals, 

Welcome to the PayPal Community Forum! I can understand receiving money from someone can be a bit confusing. I'm glad you reached out on this one. Short answer, no, you do not need to pay any additional money to someone to receive a payment through PayPal. PayPal itself will charge a fee for receiving funds as Goods and Services payments, but you do not pay that as an extra payment to the sender or even to PayPal. PayPal deducts it directly from the transaction when it's received into your PayPal account. Here are a few resources I think you may find useful: 

How do I receive money through PayPal?
What are the fees for PayPal accounts?

How do I spot a fake, fraudulent, or phishing PayPal email or website?
 

Good luck on this and future transactions!

Awesome thank you for replying. Is this also true if they are using a business account? Ihad a buyer say there was a $50 confirmation fee because they are using a business account. Like the image below

This is scamming. I am in the same situation. I want to contact the police, they steal from people by promissing after you pay a fee (that doesn t exist), you receive your payment on paypal. A fake reason is that it s a business account
