Pending transaction

[Lvnmt406406]

I had a business account send me money supposedly. I got and email “from PayPal” showing the transaction was pending, has a transaction ID and it’s pending bc of the transaction fee that needs to be paid (by me) before the money is finalized. Is this an actual thing? Can I check that transaction ID anywhere on PayPal?

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.
