Clearance fees.

Hi, I am trying to receive funds from the Netherlands, I'm from Australia, they told me on snapchat there is a clearance fee? I've looked on both here and my bank, and the sites says no fees, I think they're trying to scam me, just need to confirm, because I didnt think there was such things as clearance fees, but I thought I'd check, but I'm 99% sure I'm being scammed.

You are correct, SCAM.
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.

Yeah I thought so, thanks so much for the clarification
