You’re being scammed. PayPal doesn’t charge activation fee and there isn’t a activation code to receive payment.
The fees PayPal charges are found here: Commercial Transaction Rates
And PayPal automatically deducts their fee from incoming payments and gives you the rest. PayPal does not ask you to pay a activation fee upfront in order to receive a payment.
Buyer didn’t send you any payment. They are just lying and say they paid, telling you to do pay this, pay that in order to get money.
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
