Yes you can send as a gift. You must trust the recipient 100%. (So no family members and not the wife/girlfriend) :grin:
ps If you lose youre money dont blame me

Paypal Gift will only be free of charge if you have the actual funds sitting in your paypal account or is from your verified bank account, If the payment comes from your credit card then it will charge you but it does give you the option of paying the fees yourself or the recipient paying the fees.

A stated above if you do send by gift then you don't have any comeback if the transaction goes sour as you won't be covered under any of paypal supposed protection policys.

I sent a gift payment to someone recently and had to choose whether I paid the fees or the recipient.  First time I've had to do that :confused:

It will only be free for both you and the seller if the funds are either coming from cleared money in your paypal balance or a verified bank account, I'm guessing the funds must of come from your credit card which is why someone had to pick up the fees for the gift payment.

Will have to look into that then.  I abandoned the transaction in the end and sorted it out with cash as I begrudged paying the fee :grin:

On second thoughts, I was the one receiving the money so it seems it's the other party's problem and not mine :smiley:

I never send Gift as I got stitched up on another forum.

I named and shamed and he had already dissapeared.

Just pay the fourish percent for piece of mind.

I'd never gift it to someone I don't know.
