Pay for an upgrade to recieve a large Transaction?

[Jessi45]

I am waiting for a transaction to be made to my PayPal. The person who is going to make this transaction to me tells me I need to pay 200 dollars for an upgrade on my PayPal to be able to receive a large transaction. According to this person, the payment has been made for 200 dollars but the money hasn’t arrived at my PayPal. Is this true? Do I need to upgrade my account and charge for it, to be able to receive a transaction of 5000 dollars?

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.
