Hi @amyanned

 

Welcome to the PayPal community. 

 

When someone is purchasing an item from you then the full payment should be sent to your PayPal account. I would not recommend that you send any payment to them as they are the one purchasing the item so they should be paying you. We would never ask anyone to send money using any other source other than PayPal and would not ask a seller to send additional funds for something they are selling. 

 

The decision is yours but I would strongly recommend that you do not continue with this sale and consider finding a genuine buyer. 

 

I hope this helps, 

Paula
