Not sure what you are talking about?

I m new user in singapore and did a online project from overseas. So the other party now claimed that they have transferred however my account is not link to their business account so I need to link the accounts. I m not sure whether is there such a need . On top of it, they want me to pay $100 and will refund after the payment went thru. So does it sound like scam or this is the requirement to receive payment overseas.

SCAM

You never pay any upfront fee as a seller or to receive payments into a Paypal account....international or otherwise.

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.
