Is This a Scam?

Imagine being excited for your first sale. Then, I get a message to verify my card. Okay So I entered my Pay Pal card. It has a few cents on it, so I figured if it was a scam they couldn't get much. However, when it verified the card, it said I had to transfer $150 to the card. I noped out of it quickly. I got a message before asking for card details and I didn't reply. And if you got ordered it shows in your order tab. I replied it seems scammy to me in the "support" window. No response.

Anything a buyer sends in the inbox saying to verify/confirm a payment will be a scam. Or if they ask for your email address pretending the system is asking for it, to try to send you the link that way then it's a scam (and sending them your email address is against Fiverr Terms of Service).

Like you say, it will show in your normal Fiverr orders page (or dashboard tab) if you get an actual order.

You could press the report option on the message (3 dots on the top right of it when your mouse is over the message) and block the user from that report option.
