Bitcoin payment for PayPal?

[Tibs80]

Dear All! Is it a fraud that a lady from Ljubljana (am in in Hungary currently) wants me to pay €100 in advance through a bitcoin link to secure her €190 purchase of goods from me? She says this is the only way to get the €190 to my bank account - I even had to send its details to her. I have also got an email from [removed] with details and stuff like that full of spelling and grammatical mistakes - thats why it looks suspicious too. PLEASE someone to help me, thanks in advance!

You never pay any upfront fee as a seller.

Ignore scammers that send fake Paypal emails telling you that you need to pay an upfront fee to verify/upgrade/or any other reason to 'accept' a payment.

You would certainly never have to send funds via another payment processor/bitcoins/ or tokens/vouchers of any sort.

Any fee is auto deducted by Paypal at the same instant the remainder of the payment is credited to your Paypal account balance.

No funds in your balance = you have not yet been paid, even pending/held payments will still show in your Paypal account activity.
