I Can’t Withdraw My $14,172 eBay Balance Without Paying a ₺2,860 “Tax” First

I need urgent help from anyone who has successfully withdrawn money from eBay. I currently have $14,172 accumulated in my eBay account, but I’ve been told I must first pay a ₺2,860 “tax” or I won’t be able to access any of it. This requirement wasn’t mentioned during registration or while using the platform. Now they say if I don’t pay this fee, my funds will remain locked.

The most concerning part is that this entire process was introduced to me by a foreign woman who contacted me through messaging, claiming to “help” with withdrawals. I’m now worried this could be a scam.
