DO NOT SEND PAYPAL AS GIFT OR FRIENDS OR FAMILY UNLESS....

..I have seen some crazy discussions on here but....... really people? PayPal has rules, they are easily found by logging in and clicking "Fees". F&F is NOT meant as a selling/buying platform, if you use it that way you are taking a calculated risk=== period. The first rule you will see in "Fees" is 'Buying is free within the US', it's spelled out and it simple to understand.
Buying online or in-store purchases.
We don't think it makes any sense to charge you fees for buying online or in-store in the US. Spend freely (but wisely).
The second rules is 'Selling is 2.9% + $0.30 per sale.' it is also easy to read and understand ===
That's a small price to pay for accepting major forms of payment from any of the 267 million active customers worldwide. There are no hidden PayPal fees. You don't have to pay anything until you get paid for selling something. Our rates are some of the most competitive in the industry – keeping you in business and your customers happy.
If you are using PP to sell something and you ask for (or even accept) payment using any other method, you are breaking the rules.... and as mentioned in other posts, you are stealing.... black and white.
