Not one person said anything to me or commented about it.

I will totally refrain from doing it from now onwards.
I hope nobody thought badly of me for doing it?
Is ignorance an excuse in this instance? lol

So do you still think that asking a buyer privately to pay as a gift
is uncool? Surely with an excellent feedback rating and
reputation in the forum its not a big deal? What about giving
the buyer the option to pay the fees or pay as a gift?

Its not really about the money to be honest. I just don't like
giving pp the money. I have an online business and they
get enough form me
I'm thinking that you as many (including myself) were only saying (although by different words) that the buyer would assume the fees, and I'm also sure that if on any of those sales you mention the buyer would have said that he would preffer to take the fees and pay as goods you would also have taken that option with no problems. You as the majority of the sellers here are honest members that accurately describe what they are selling and have no intention of deceiving or scamming anyone.
I'm sure that anyone that has seen your sales threads, dealt with you, or know you from the forums has no doubts towards your integrity as a seller.
