Is this email a real PayPal email?
[removed] because it bothered me when one person sent me money and then, as part of verification, had to send a given amount and now I have to send back this amount from my own money and give a screenshot for confirmation. Is this legit?

SCAM.

You never pay any upfront fee as a seller or to receive payments to your personal OR business 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. OR send any funds via friends/family from your paypal account if that is asked.

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.
