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.

Ah THAT was the missing link! Thanks J4! So the trick is to get the other side to initiate by requesting 'send money', then I have the options of 'personal/gift' etc...nice! Will be testing this out very soon!
