Always better to give us a gist of the content of the email rather than the email address, however yes it does look like a spoof.

Forward it to phishing@paypal.com for confirmation.

They told me to send 300$ for my paypal account to become a business paypal account, even though I never wanted to make my paypal account a business account. Thank you for answering my question

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.
