No, you do not have to buy gift cards, do not prepay any money, do not pay a third party agent, do not use a third party payment processor (ie. Moneygram, Western Union), and do not upgrade to a business account for an exorbitant fee (it’s free to upgrade) in order to receive payments.
And will never ask you to provide tracking via email before receiving a payment.
If someone REALLY paid, you’ll see a record of payment in your PayPal account fairly instant, even if your payment is subject to 21 day PayPal hold.
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
