VGD 67 Member · Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 What seems like a totally easy way to save a few bucks has turned into a way to scam people. PayPal gift payments! Sure it all sounds good send the seller a gift payment save them a bit of money and get your stuff. In a lot of cases this is true, but now not a week goes by without a member getting screwed or the run around about a PayPal gift payment. So we are clear... Sending "Gift" payments eliminates any recourse you have against the seller. You will not be able to do a charge back or file a claim with PayPal. VGS STRONGLY recommends you do not send GIFT Payments for Purchases! Of course 99% of these transactions are probably fine. BUT we do not want to see anyone get scammed, and PayPal offers a fairly decent service, anyone remember the days of the check is in the mail? A tip for the sellers that don't want to pay fees add 3% to your selling price before you post it! Thank you for your time! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
