Scam or not?

My sender wants me to buy crypto for 100$ on paybis for some kind of fee in order to get my money to my PayPal account, he said it’s because it’s a huge amount of money and he’s sending me screenshots as proof but I’m not sure if I can believe it. Is this a scam or can I trust him?

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.
