Paypal payments.... as a gift
h4rdy:
I always say I won't pay gift and if they say no I won't do the deal simples.
I got shafted for £30 on another forum, not a lot, but when I tried to get my money back low and behold I couldn't because I didn't know the 'gift' score.
I think it should be stopped too as not everbody knows what it means.

If paypal had an option when a "buyer" pays for an item to select (I will pay fee) then that would stop the need for gift payments.
When I sell something for £30, I want £30 not the £28 that I would receive.
after all a bank transfer would give me what I want and doesn't take a fee

Exactly the reason i prefer it too. Sometimes people want to pay with a credit card as well, and as i dont have a merchant account i cant do that via bank transfer. So if someone specifically wants to pay with paypal, and i havent accounted for paypal costs (i always sell things at the absolute bare minimum, usually with a substantial loss) so want what i have advertised a product for.
Like i said above, it really depends who you are buying from and what their reputation is like. I will always ask for gift payment if someone wants to pay with paypal.

so how do you find out what fees to pay the seller?
