I can tell its not from the first 2 words. Paypal does not address you as Dear Customer / Member or anything else. They say your full first and last name.

Also...
You never pay any upfront fee as a seller.

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.

Thanks I managed to talk to a PayPal rep on the phone while this was happening too and they confirmed this is a Phishing scam. Glad I’m not as gullible as they thought. Reported the email to PayPal phishing department as well.
