" should not have used PPGift "
I wouldn't give out that sort of detail to a stranger even if I was legit
If they insist on PayPal gift I send it normal PayPal then "gift" them the few quid that PayPal have knocked off.
And if I'm expecting some total stranger to furnish me with a few hundred pounds on the basis that I'll be good enough to honour the deal then I'm more than happy to give them some proof of who I am.
Hope it works out OP, there's nowt queer as folk & some folk have a strange interpretation of what most would consider the right thing to do. I'd refund at the first sight of trouble.
Good luck.
And hope the lad had a good birthday despite.
Update.
Now fully reimbursed. Clearly i was dealing with a reliable guy.
Thanks all for advice.

just use a fee calculator to figure what you need to send for them to get the correct amount.
if someone is [b]insisting[/b] on gift, then they are scammers!
glad you got your money back OP
I just got contacted by Mr Tim Lott regarding a WTD ad I put up this evening for some wheels. Has anyone else had any dealings with him?

I have just had a dealing with him(singlesteed AKA Tim Lott)
He contacted me after I put an add on the wanted section,he contacted me via Email and we did a deal on a pair of hope/stans wheels that it turns out he'd already sold to someone else,,accepted my money and then refunded it a few days later due to unforeseen circumstances.
After a bit of digging I managed to get hold of the person who'd already bought the wheels and they are waiting for them to be shipped. Very dodgy,luckily I used the goods and services option on paypal but he did say Gift would be preferable.
Even after the OP's first post I wouldn't go near the bloke/seller.
Is singlesteed the chap that is very rude to people in his own for sale threads calling them tinewasters etc.
