<p>[QUOTE="drathbun, post: 1975945, member: 42789"]The only reason people are going the "gift" route is to avoid the fees. In my opinion, if you can't afford the fees (or don't want to pay them) then don't use the service. You can't call up VISA or Mastercard and ask them to waive their fees because you don't want to pay them... why should you treat PayPal any different? Try getting a merchant account so you can accept actual credit cards and see how much that costs!</p><p><br /></p><p>Peter, the reason I suggested making it a rule here is that way PayPal can't decide to come after you / this site as a "facilitator" or someone who supports attempts to circumvent the proper use of PayPal. I don't see it being that big of a deal. Simply police the advertising section (which is being done already) and remove any listing that requires PayPal gift as payment. </p><p><br /></p><p>What goes on behind closed doors is another story, but at least that way it doesn't look like CT is implicitly endorsing the practice.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
