Yep 100% total scam.
You do not pay fees upfront to receive funds especially via another payment processor ie bitcoin !!
Any fee you are charged are auto deducted from your buyers payment the same instant the remainder is credited to your paypal account balance.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.
