URGENTLY NEED HELP ASAP. I was sent money from a bitcoin platform since last week and I don't see the funds on my account. I was sent a screenshot from the buyer showing that the funds were sent and also a receivers fee of $50. The buyer said to purchase a razer gold for a code so I can get the funds into my account, so I did and he used the code and said it did not work and it is still showing the funds are on hold. AGAIN I URGENTLY NEED HELP

SCAM

You never pay any upfront fee as a seller or to receive payments into a Paypal account.

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.
