Any solutions for the $200 USD additional payment scam from Paypal.

As typed in the title, I realised it should be a scam after searching similar concerns from others online. I am the receiver and i was requested to upload a refund receipt in order to unlock the pending money. I haven’t done so but the other side had already paid for the original + additional money. Are there any solutions tackling this issue?? How can we get the pending money back??

If there are no funds in your paypal account balance or activity then the ''other side'' have paid nothing and they are scammers.

You never pay any upfront fee as a seller or to receive payments into a Paypal account.

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

You would certainly never have to send funds especially 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.
