Is this wrong?? I have had alot of people ask me to send payment as a gift.. I have no problem doing it. But Some people are getting a hard time for doing it. But I know I spend money on Shipping and packing the cards. And always give a better deal when not using Paypal.. So Im trying to save people money by taking gift payments. Including myself..If I ever do.
To me Paypal offers me no protection. I have had several deals where Paypal was wrong and still went with the wrong end of the deal..
I have money in my Paypal account and they pay me no interest. So what service are they providing me?? That I'm not paying for??
Just like to know that other people think.. Thanks..

QUOTE(coltsfan23 @ Sep 7 2009, 11:29 PM) I find Paypal quite useful and the gift option is cool in that when receiving payments, it doesn't take any fees away from you. If that method is used for accepting payments for purchases (as defined by PayPal), please explain how that is not being deceptive in order to use a service without paying for that service. QUOTE(coltsfan23 @ Sep 7 2009, 11:29 PM) Oh, and I also use paypal shipping, which is very helpful, but with gifts, you have to type in the address and print the label. You can't just go under "print label" next to the payment when receiving payment as a gift. There's a logical reason why the shipping tools work that way... Why are you shipping packages related to gifts or personal payments? Reference my comments from above. -Bob

Your post doesn't make any sense to me. Half of it is incoherent and the other half, I just simply disagree with. To each his own, I guess. Oh, and I also use paypal shipping, which is very helpful, but with gifts, you have to type in the address and print the label. You can't just go under "print label" next to the payment when receiving payment as a gift. I dont use Paypal shipping becuase mine has not worked for about 6 months. I have called them a few times and they have never got it to work.. Bob Im just asking.. To me Paypal is like my bank.. I have money in it and they pay me no intrest.. But still use my money just like a bank.. So that is my fees. I was also trying to find out what people think..

QUOTE(bob_TCC @ Sep 7 2009, 10:38 PM) Brian, Many banks have fees associated with their accounts - e.g., ATM fees and more. Just like PayPal, you know those fees when you decide to use their services. If you don't want to pay the fees, find another service provider that doesn't have the fees. -Bob I guess thats why I bank at my bank. Everything is free.. I'm not trying to be rude. But Im asking..

QUOTE(bob_TCC @ Sep 7 2009, 10:47 PM) Brian, This isn't just about their conflict resolution services. That's an important component of this discussion as well though, but we can discuss that in more detail later. You are using a service that allows you to transfer money between accounts electronically. That service allows you to exchange funds in seconds from the comfort of your home. That service allows you to avoid paying the fees associated with purchasing a money order. That service allows you to avoid paying the postage necessary to mail cash, a money order or a check. That service helps you avoid the risk involved with mailing such payment types. PayPal believes that the service has some value. Therefore, PayPal charges fees for that service. -Bob I'm just asking.. I dont pay for Money Orders at my bank.. And can also send money via my bank free.. I wanted to know what people thought about it.. I like talking about these kind of things..

Doesnt paypal offer interest on the balance? I know mine does (Premier account)...and as for your issue as to paypal siding with wrong people, if you do things PAYPAL'S ways, then you will always win (e.g. tracking numbers w/ insurance - and pictures of the item for example)...

Sure do things there way. But if someone says they didnt get the card or If I say the card is damaged and prove it. They always seem to go for the other guy.. Maybe its just me?? This is why I like to talk about things.. I learn and so do others.. Not trying to be rude. Just asking. Maybe I was wrong to do that?

QUOTE(bob_TCC @ Sep 8 2009, 12:20 AM) Brian, I don't believe anyone has suggested that you're being rude or were wrong for posting this topic. To the contrary, I think this is a topic that needs to be discussed. -Bob I think its good to talk about these things also.. One of the things not brought up in this is that you cant protest a gift. So if you send someone a gift payment and they dont send your out the money with no protection..
