is this legit from paypal dear customer, we want to bring to your notice that you’re required to pay the the international monetary fund (imf) worth $200.00 in order for your account to be credited with the total sum of $2,100.00 immediately. I have already fallen into their trap by paying $300 2x to get upgraded and get account credited.

SCAM.
You never pay any upfront fee as a seller or to receive funds.
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.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.
