Sheldonsoul Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 whilst buying a record off someone they asked me to pay by paypal, go to make a payment click on personal click on gift then send and hey presto the seller had no paypal fees stopped, and in the bargain gave me free P+P, not sure if this works for buyers though and as far as i know is perfectly legal, anybody who buys from me now i allways ask if they dont mind doing this Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

If its by credit card buyer gets option on who pays the fees they can choose themselves or the seller. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

vaultofsouler Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 paypal must have added it though because it wasn't always an option was it ?

Quinvy Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I've only recently discovered this I have been told that both parties need to have a bank account linked to their paypal account, and that there is a limit to the amount you can send. Gonna have to look into this in more detail. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Chris Anderton Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 With some countries you have to choose who is going to pay the fee, the buyer or the seller... Chris Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Trev Thomas Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 i think when you send a payment as a gift the sender gets hit for the fee, i could be wrong, but thats what ive been told Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Jason S Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 (edited) Pretty sure that when it comes to the final part of the transaction you have to specify who's paying the fees - recipient or sender - can't see paypal giving away their commission.

John Reed Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 (edited) I think there is a downside to this. If the purchased item is faulty and you want a refund but the seller refuses, I don't think you can make a claim, as the payment was originally a gift.

Soulboy69 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 i think when you send a payment as a gift the sender gets hit for the fee, i could be wrong, but thats what ive been told This is true as i have used this option so although it's good for the seller, the buyer has to pay all the fees.

Quinvy Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Like I said in my earlier post. If both parties have a bank account linked to paypal, there are no fees. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Paul Shirley Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 yes its correct as i have been using this method for over a year and i apear to have told every person on this site by the looks of it , but it wont always work because once you have sent a fair amount of money paypals automatic security system kicks in ,( because this is what they told me ) they have to wait for the money from your bank .so if you aint got the funds or your up to no good .ie. using some other persons paypal acount (think about it) to send cash . they paypal will lose out . i know this because i sent a bloke a grand one day no problem next day i tried to send the same bloke more cash for more tunes but it wouldent let me do it stating not enough funds . i knew i had .so couldent work it out . rang paypal and the guy explained it all to me . they will only let you send so much money no mater how trusted or how much you have , Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
