<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Grass Man, post: 2526060, member: 79939&quot;]I have used the PP Gift many times, but only after I&#039;ve done business with them previously and have confidence in their honesty.&nbsp; It saves the seller the Ebay and Paypal fees and gets the buyer a lower price.&nbsp; Of course, it is against Ebay rules and Paypal frowns upon it as well.&nbsp; An alternative, is to have the seller invoice you outside of ebay for goods and use paypal to pay for them.&nbsp; That saves the bulk of his fees and gets you a discount and paypal&#039;s protection.&nbsp; As far as your recourse, it is unlikely that police or the feds would get involved, since the amount in their eyes is small, and there is no way of proving that you didn&#039;t give this guy a gift.&nbsp; Paypal isn&#039;t going to assist you either, because you sidestepped their process of earning fees.&nbsp; Might check his feedbacks on Ebay to see if he has small number of transactions or bad feedback, and he may work with you if you threaten to report him for doing a transaction outside ebay.&nbsp; But you are as guilty as he is on that score, so what&#039;s good for the goose ............Sorry for your loss.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
