Hello, I would like to send a corner sofa on facebook in the marketplace. The buyer told me thar she send me on pay pal, i give her my name and my bank acount number. I got an email from pay pal "service" that befor i receive the money i need to pay some fees using moonpay,for the seller and buyer protection. Because this was my first sale, i think it was okey,but i need to pay more and more fees. Yesterday i found some connversetion here,on the pay pal community that someone was scamed in the same way. Can somebody help me what i can do next? How can i receive my money? Or may i need to go to the authoritis with this?

Thank you for your helping and answer!

SCAM.

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.

None of the transaction was done using paypal so nothing paypal can do for you unfortunately.

Also odds are the scammer is in another country unless you know for sure they are in your country?

You were scammed by fake paypal emails and sent money via a completely different payment processor and not via paypal to receive a payment that was never sent as they had no intention of paying you and did not want your item.
