Did you know - bhara - 03-09-08
Did you know that if you pay via paypal and mark it as gift neither party gets charged
so if you do a deal and trust someone it could be a way to save money
just thought i would share the tip
RE: Did you know - streak - 03-09-08
...depends on how the item is shipped.. if you use Fed-ex you'll get charged duty..
RE: Did you know - mr.pure - 03-09-08
I think he's talking about the actual payment and not being charged 4% for the privilege.
Nice one.
Top tip, if true ?!?
RE: Did you know - pokey27 - 03-09-08
Its true but i couldnt figure out how to do it!!which means if where selling stuff to each other on here!!then we won't need to add extra to cover paypal fee's
RE: Did you know - dj_wildthing - 04-09-08
Sounds like tip of the day to me!
I wonder how long it takes before all payments are marked as gifts and PayPal gets zero percentage - that would be sweet (even though it's never going to happen, I know)
RE: Did you know - bhara - 04-09-08
pokey when you go to make normal payment
you click on gift instead of the default option its set to
have a fiddle next time you make payment and you should get the hang of it
been doing it for a bit and no problems to note
i hate paypal so thought i would bring joy from my misery lol
RE: Did you know - streak - 05-09-08
Bugger.. should have tried that before I paid last night..
RE: Did you know - stylz - 05-09-08
Good to know!
RE: Did you know - Sneakerphile - 05-09-08
Shit, wish i'd known this yesterday morning! Oh well, Top Tip fella, thanks for sharing!
RE: Did you know - WildOne - 05-09-08
If anybody wants to send me some cash to try this out, I'm happy to be the guinea pig!
RE: Did you know - Dirty - 05-09-08
It works! I just recieved payment for a pair of soops and it was fee free! How sweet it is! Many thank yous bhara!

Cheers bhara, used this last night.
From what i could work out it's only possible if you send money, i couldn't find an option to do it if you are paying for something or sending money to a request. There was also a 1% charge which you can choose to pay yourself or pass on to the recipient.
Much better than the 4% they normally cream off.
RE: Did you know - bhara - 05-09-08
yh you can only do this if your paying someone
no charge at all
dont know what your doing to make the 1% thing happen because i dont get that when i send money as gift

So let me get this straight:
If I'm sending money (i.e. if buying soups), of course I don't get charged for using PPal, BUT if I'm waiting for cash (i.e. if someone's buying from me), and they send payment marked as a gift, then I won't get dinged %4???
Please verify as I've a number of items to/from happening over the next few weeks!!!!
If this is the case - you da man Bhara!

Thats about it.
From what i could work out but i may have done it wrong (hence the 1%)
The other person has to initiate the transaction by using the 'send money', they then get the choice of 'personal' then the option to send it as a 'gift'.
If you request money from them or if its linked straight from a sale on ebay etc then i don't think there is a 'gift' option for them to use.
Hope that helps.
