I was asked to buy some bitcoin from a couple different sites such as mercuryo, ramp and paybis in order to receive some money, but it seems a bit suspicious now that I look back on it. Do you need a certain amount of bitcoin in order for a payment to go through? Apparently their PayPal is on a business account and is restricted so they can’t send it unless they get bitcoin

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.
