    paypal gift

    not sure if its been mentioned here yet but if you use paypal regular and are fed up at getting stiffed by the fees they deduct when you receive money...well

    use the paypal gift feature, sadly i tried to tell you all once about paypal masspay where you dont get any fee % taken from your money when you send and receive paypal and you all hounded me out and i nearlly got kicked out of here

    trying to teach old dogs new tricks i suppose, i should have know better

    but now im back with more money saving info for you.

    when you buy something from the marketplace here, moc aquaman for example ... go to your paypal as you would normally, log in, click the tab send money, enter the email address of the receiver and enter the amout select what money your sending ie; dollar, pound... and see below that there is a personal tab, click on it and select the gift option and send

    the receiver will now get all the money you just sent instead of paypal taking there cut out of it

    so its good to know as if you are the seller and want to receive all the money you just sold a figure for then pass the info to your customer and hey presto you get all the money in your account...no fee..no cut

    be warned though, only use this feature with those you trust 100% as im told you loose your rights to "cover" when you select the gift option... meaning you cant put in a paypal request if the goods dont arrive or arrive damaged or what ever the reason... as you have chosen to gift someone like donate
    ive not looked into that though but ive used it over and over and have no probs as yet

    for confirmation check with txteach... i just sent him $55 and he will get all the $55 i sent... nice high 5

    thanks for the info. However, I wonder if PayPal monitors accounts to see if anyone is abusing this option?


    Think B.A. Where did you hide the Megos?

            hmm paypal usa are already onto this gift scam

            i just sent toocool $42 and they offered me a choice either to charge me 0.42 or to take it from the $42 and make the reciever pay

            dang

            not tried it in pounds again yet though

            ah well it was good while it lasted

            can still use the gift feature but now theres a choice who pays the fee... crafty money grabbng 7wats
