We will be in touch
found something on another forum that I want. Seller wants PP gift. Now I suspect that this is not to my advantage but what is the catch?
What would the fees be on 28 quid if he agrees to proper PP?
if you pay by gift and it goes tits up - they won't help you

The Paypal fee for £28 will be calculated at 3.4%, and includes a 20p standard charge.
Fee: £1.152.
Sum: £29.152.
I will only pay with paypal gift if the value is less than I can afford to lose.
To me this limit is £30 and above that I will not paypal gift.
As far as i am aware the seller wants you to send money by paypal gift so they avoid paying the fees. I go into paypal and select gift so it does the calculation of how much the fees would be then as PePPeR says if it is more than i feel comfortable loosing i pay the larger amount by paypal purchase of goods.
In my mind i see payment by paypal gift as to mean payment + paypal fees and if that is the case then i am as well to pay by payment for goods and add the fees ontop of the agreed purchase price so i am covered for the purchase.
