If you use the gift option in paypal does this effect the charges.

Or Why are people asking for this option????

There *are* charges if your PayPal account isn't linked to a bank account IIRC.

No protection for the sender if you send money as a gift.

Yeah, I'm very suspicious when people say "paypal gift only" it can mean "I don't want to pay the charges" but it can also mean "I'm planning to rip you off".

I'm not sure you're right about no payer protection actually.

Fwiw, i won't take paypal except as a gift and happily use it as a method to pay on here
