Payment pending?

Hi there,

I just had a payment from someone (about 6000USD) but that payment is pending and he's saying that I have to pay 50EUR of bitcoin to some site to verify that payment, which is really odd to me and doesn't seem right. I don't have to pay anything to recieve that payment, right?

If it is a scam, can I somehow report that user and make it harder for him to scam another people? It's just making me sick and I really don't like that.

Thx all.

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/or any other reason to 'accept' a payment.

You would certainly never have to send funds 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.
