Do I have to pay $200 To upgrade my account? And then $400 for the payment to be accepted?

[Attachi]

Hi! I have a question because a lovely lady wrote to me and wanted me to lend her photos from my account for her artistic work and then she wanted to send me money for it. However, he decided to pay$200 to expand my account, which unfortunately I did and now I received an email to send another $400 to get a certificate and then if it is accepted, I will get a refund.However, something doesn't feel right to me here. Please tell me if this is true or I just got scammed

Sadly you were scammed.

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 to a business account/or any other reason to accept a payment.

You would certainly never have to send funds especially 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.
