Email template looks legit but upon checking it is coming from  a gmail address and not a valid paypal.com email address.

Content read:

You’ve just received a amount of $250 from another PayPal account but your account isn't a business account so there are some steps you will have to take in order to receive the money and begin paying with no issues with PayPal via (business) around the world.

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.
