This scam has been ongoing for years and is all over this forum so glad you were not caught out.

Paypal would NEVER ask you to use another payment processor eg moneygram or western union to pay a courier.

Paypal would NEVER tell you to send an item etc before the funds showed in your paypal balance.

Delete and ignore the scammers.
