hello, is it normal that it's been happening to us three times that whenever they're trying to send money they need more money to upgrade it? now the sender is asking me to give the money back to them that I didn't even receive in the first place. why is this happening? I know that this is a scam but 3 times in a row? and they sent me a notification from them saying that I have trouble receiving the money and they need more money to upgrade the account, srsly this is very frustrating

SCAM
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.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.
