Hello @Gabriellamunoz,
Thanks for joining the PayPal Community!
I understand you'd like to learn more about your recent payment. Based on the information you've provided, I can tell you the email was not sent from PayPal. We would not request that you complete a purchase of any sort to receive your money. You can learn more about common scams on our Help Center, along with how to spot and report a fake PayPal email. Anytime you receive a payment, you can double-check the validity by logging into your PayPal account and going to PayPal.com. The payment will always show up automatically in your transaction history. Please reset your password immediately if you clicked on any links within the email.
I hope this helps!
