YET Another Warning about PP GIFT Payments
Repgeek STRONGLY discourages the use of pay pal gift payments for many reasons namely:
1 - It is against pay pal rules and will have your account frozen if you abuse it.
2 - It leaves you no fall back if anything goes wrong.
3 - The fees are still paid, just not by the receiver of the funds, in this case the "buyer" (gifter) pays the fees, you don't avoid any fees at all.
If you must use this method of payment for some reason (even though we can't think of any) please do so at your own risk and only with someone you totally trust or have dealt with before.
Same goes for payments through western union and moneygram, they are the preferred method of payment of scammers because you have no fall back if the deal goes sour. Use these methods only when you trust the seller.
If the seller insists on paypal gift and has little or no feedback and/or you don't know him or dealt with him before, walk away. Better safe then sorry.
Unfortunately there are scammers anywhere and although we here at RG have a heavy hand a a proactive approach on scammers, however, we won't be able to get rid of all of them, so do your part in ensuring that your deals are as safe as they can be.
