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..

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.

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..

If you can't deal with the fees then don't use paypal. Either don't use it, or comply with their "rules." Using paypal and then picking and choosing which "rules" you can work around is acting like a 3rd grader wink.gif. You are intentionally breaking their TOS.

EDIT: Re-reading this comes across like I'm speaking specifically to you, I'm not talking specifically to you Gsil, this is directed to everyone who ask for payment as a "gift"
