want to buy an item off a member but i have been asked to pay with paypal (perfect) but to send it as a gift? is that dodgey?
-
yep, means you got NO COMEBACK if it all goes to sh!te :smiley:
all for the sake of a couple of quid in fees :wink:
-
And u pay the fees to send via gift now anyway!!
-
Yea don't bother with gift rubbish
-
payed him an extra £5 to cover the costs... makes me feel bit better least if it hits the sh!t i can get my cash back.
£5 for some internet security :rolleyes: ha
-
Yeah I always do that with people I've not dealt with or know reasonably from the Forum.
Keeps you safe at the end of the day, and you have to pay the fees regardless when sending as a gift.

If it all goes to pot & the seller screws him over he'll be able to get his money back from Paypal & they will chase the seller for the cash.

I thought that paying by "gift" meant he couldn't get his money back like Chuff said? How will paying the seller an extra £5 change that? Or have i missed something? :huh:

Because he doesn't actually pay 'gift'. He pays for an 'item' or 'service' and PayPal take their fee, leaving the buyer protected should the goods not turn up :wink:

I always look to see if its a Confirmed account means the account is all security checked address all confirmed etc.If its for a purchase and you dont send it by gift dont you just have to input the details of your purchase and your covered?

I would say most people wanting to be payed by gift are looking to scam or worried about what there selling. Lets hope my parts arrive in mint condition ha

I bought a radio off ebay about a year ago. I offered to pay the seller by "gift" if he'd end the auction and sell it to me. I thought it would be enough of a sweetener for him to take me up on my offer. He accepted, but the radio hasn't turned up to this day.
I thought that was £200 down the swanny, until I came up with the idea of contacting people from his feedback list that he had bought from, to see if one of them would send me his address. One lady did, so I emailed him saying that I would be round to pick up the radio or my money at a convenient time. Funny old thing, he refunded my money that same day.

Nice work!
Isn't there an option on PayPal to pay for 'goods' but include the fee amount to yourself rather than the seller? Sure there used to be.

Yeah there is :wink:

Maybe I missed that, can someone sreenshot it?

There used to be a box to tick which says you will pay the fees as a buyer, not used paypal in a while so it might not be there anymore...
