Sending a PayPal as a gift negates any buyer protection.

Fees sent out of the country are higher to the seller.

+1,000

You want to sale your cake and eat it too, I don't care but don't tell to add 3% to cover you seller PP charge which is the cost of doing business if you are selling...

I paid the extra to cover paypal fee's when I bought one of my 944's over the net. Seller wanted a local buyer that he could walk into a bank and complete the transaction to insure safety of receiving his money. He didn't trust Money Orders/Certified checks, so Pay Pal it was...

If some one is intending to sell something locally without the hassle of shipping/long distant payment, I can totally understand asking for the pay pal fees.

Personally - outside of my '44's, if I listed something for sale online - I just want to get rid of it, and the $$$ is a bonus, I'd just eat the fees.
