Hello @nazonaz, 

Welcome to the PayPal Community. I'm sorry to hear there's been some confusion over a payment you're expecting to receive. If they are asking you to send them money first, normally it is not going to be a legitimate transaction. I would not recommend continuing with this transaction if they are asking you to send money to receive money. Here are a few resources you may find useful: 

How do I receive money?
How do I spot and report a fake PayPal email or website?

Good luck with this and future transactions,
