I mean not using PP gift is still no warranty, for not getting cheated and we all also frown uppon people who makes disputes... then why is the gift option so bad. To me it's a really nice option not to give the bast#¤ds at PP, my money... and it does not by default make me a scammer.

A few members have also reported that excessive use of the "gift" option, has resulted in PP investigating the "gifts" on both sides of the transaction (by sending forms for each to fill out), and freezing your account until they are satisfied you haven't been abusing it. You know, typical PP B.S.

Anyway, I think TX's suggestion is a great idea, and would negate the need (or impulse) of anyone posting a reminder.

You can use moneybookers pretty safe too! I've used it a few times including to buy an expensive watch here with no problems. You can even get a moneybookers mastercard now and use it as a debit card anywhere in the world on the mastercard network.
