Nah, even I've requested it in the past. But at the time I really had no idea of what using it meant, but now that a lot more is known about it, I don't see the point of using it, unless you want to remove some of the safety net from your potential customers.Originally Posted by pjl

I take absolutely no responsibility in facilitating the destruction of that new watch you just bought, or in causing you to be locked up in a mental institution.
Not necessarily I think the PP gift option in the majority of cases is a "softer" way of saying you pay the fees, or was intended as such. I've sold items paid as gift and never have I had any problems with the buyers. The vast majority of the members in this forum are honest and trustworthy though with the increase in value of some replica watches the prospect of higher profits has attracted some scammers into our ranks.
The best thing to do is to buy the seller instead of the watch, make sure you trust who you're buying from and obviously take as many safeguards as you can especially if you're dealing with a particular seller for the first time. I'm sure that someone that is a honest seller will tell you that there's no problem with paying as goods if you add the fees, a scammer might on the other hand insist on gift payment and then you should back off from that buy.
This is an issue that is widespread over almost every watch forum on the net, its not a repgeek issue and there's plenty of information regarding the do's and don'ts of buying online and the advantages and disadvantages of the payment methods and particularly paypal. If you pay as gift, it is a gift, you have no safeguards, point! If something goes wrong you're on your own, as stated by the admins here they will assist you in what they can regarding registration e-mail address and IP address(es) used by the "scammer" but in regards to paypal there's nothing you can do.
