i have a buyer, and she give me a proof that she done with the payment. but i received an email from paypal (but the email is different than i usual received) that my money was withheld due to my account limit. and then paypal told me that i must contact my buyer to paid extra for upgrade my account so the funds will come in to my account. (which is not make sense)

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.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.
