It says on my PayPal app that I received a estimate for 6,000.00 USD and I got a email aswell, and there’s a note from him saying $500 Bitcoin is required to complete this transaction so your money can reflect on your PayPal balance. Is this a scam?

Fake paypal emails, sellers do not have to pay upfront to receive payments.
Also paypal do not tell you to use another payment processor.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.
