A PayPal Reminder!
I want to remind everyone that you should NEVER send PayPal money as a "Gift" to pay for an item. You will not have the recourse for a refund that you would using the traditional method.

Some of the most asinine things people do are typically preceded by the two words "Watch this."

Unless it is a very good and trustworthy friend or colleague.

Just MNSHO, but I think it's crappy to do that, and won't buy from sellers who ask for "gift" payment. On $100, the fee is less than $3.50. Either suck it up or add it to your asking price, but don't be a cheap s**t.

Yeah... I don't ask for it but I'll do for someone with a good track record or one I've dealt with before. For some people, $3 or $4 bucks is gas money for the week. Times are tough for some and every little bit helps. Would NEVER do it on a $200+ item or with someone without a history.

Actually they're charging for "gift" transactions now as well, not positive of the % amount. I send money do my daughter in college on a regular basis. The "gift" transactions were free until at least a month ago. The last time i sent her $$$ i was charged $1.60.
So there isn't any benefit to using gift in business transactions anymore.

Sounds like PayPal got wise to what people were doing.
