Is this a scam?

[Girlie666]

Could you tell me if this is a fake scam email? I sold some straightners on Facebook marketplace for £200.. now this buyer has accepted to pay the 200 but I get an email from PayPal saying I need to add an extra 200 to my account as it doesn’t reach the business account limit (I don’t have a business account) Sure this is a scam? Never been asked to pay more… plus the buyer has said they received an email too saying they need to pay extra. What do I do?

SCAM.

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

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.
