the reason pp as gift is not endosed by the staff is because there is no recourse for the seller to file a dispute if gift payment was used - so if you are scammed, that's all folks.

Sellers can still ask, but we would suggest you would only buy if you have complete faith in the seller.

We will not step in if this payment is used and there is a dispute.

I would simply suggest the seller adds a few bucks to the price instead and makes an inclusive price - really, not much is being saved.

I have also heard of ppal making enquiries into accounts that frequently use gift as payment.
