Just a quick question. I've heard paypal gift payments do away with paypal protection etc if something goes wrong as its not supposed to be used for selling as it bypasses the fees.

My question is, if you receive a paypal gift payment, is there any way they can reverse it and leave you out of pocket? I'm potentially receiving a £350 payment and obviously don't want to be stung! A gift payment would obviously save me quite a bit in fees.

Any help appreciated.

 

no mate if someone pays as a gift no disputes or reversal can be made its urs and thats that only way it can be returned is if you send bk

 

bank transfer would be better imo

 

The buyer can get it back if they say the account was hacked. Its not really safe for either party and at that value a cheque or bank transfer would be better, it all depends if the person sending the money is trustworthy or not really

 

Cheers guys.
