Hello @Helpmel1985 

Scam. The buyer does not determine whether the payment will be held or not and when PayPal can release it. In addition to this, PayPal will not be the one to require you to send money to the courier. PayPal will only be responsible for transferring the money between your buyer's account to yours. It is a common method of scammers to offer to pay for the shipping to entice you to agree with the transaction. Do not do it.

Hope this answers your questions. All the best!
