Hi, I know this probably is a scam but just wanna check see if it is ligit. So I have been contacted by a person saying to receive 1500 I have to first pay a PayPal accountant 50 before I can receive. He has said the payment is pending but it's not showing in my account. Surly it would show....? Is this real or scam.

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.
