Is this a scam? Exapand account limits

[Jingchenglin]

There is someone who wants to buy an art piece, so i created a new account and it couldnt receive money because it have limits, so it says in this gmail that this person is sending me 200euros to make my account a business account so then i can return it. Is this a scam? Do they want to steal 200euros frome me?

Yep 100% 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.
