Paypal looks at it this way. When you are sending money as a gift to someone. It is intended to be exactly that. "A gift". which means you are saying you are giving this money with no intention of recieving any kind of service or goods in return. So let's say they stiff you and do not hold up there end of the bargain. Well paypal can't not acknowledge any wrong doings since you in fact said you weren't expecting anything in return. Though Pbnation may rule in your favor. They can not get you your money back. There is also no viable legal claim. However if you were to send it normally. Paypal can investigate on your behalf and determine weather you have sufficiant enough proof to be issued a refund. Mind you, Pal is by no means perfect. But it is a much safer way to purchase goods from people with no creditials. Always keep all conversations. To include every Private message and text message or any other form. And always Quote the thread so it can not be altered. PBnation has threads stickied to the top of every BST forum. (I believe). With TONS of advise for people in your situation.
So to sum it up. NEVER GIFT!!!

I gift all the time. Haven't been unlucky yet. I would never gift to anyone with an account 2K11+, or anyone with less than 100 feedback, or anyone with negative feedback.
Then again, I never buy anything from someone with an untrustworthy amount of feedback, etc.
If you're worried, you can send the amount+fees. ez.

What would be the best way to actually purchase an item through paypal? Using your debit card? bank account? or loading the money on paypal and then sending like that. Any safety issuses with using your card/account? or whats quicker?

Glad it was able to help. All the info that was presented to me helped me tremendously on my first B/S/T Trade. Ask questions and you'll be fine.

I've given this a bit of thought and have come to the conclusion that, if the gun is > $800 or so, its more worth it to pay third party, and save on the fees because 3% of $800 is $24. Third party offers the advantage of a middle man who will make sure that everything is in good order, and can act as a witness if anything goes wrong.
