Paypal asking to pay a delivery company in Bitcoin or Steam in order to unlock the money

Hi,

Someone bought an armchair off me.
I received a mail from paypal saying I must pay a delivery company called longstar (which I cannot find) in Bitcoins or Steam Wallet Gift Card and send the receipt to paypal to unlock the money.
The buyer says this company is suggested by paypal.

I received a mail from this company as longstar movers post but gmail tells me "this message seems dangerous, avoid clicking links..."

Is this legit? I never sold anything before and all this seems very weird to me. Also asking to be paid in bitcoins or steam gift cards is strange.

Can someone help?

Thank you

Yeah, it’s a scam. You’re not gonna get paid from this person.
