this is what Happened on a Photo forum I belong to...
Person is selling a lens for $xxx to be paid by PAYPAL GIFT. This is a huge infraction of the PayPal TOS and can cause the seller and the buyer to PERMANENTLY lose their PayPal Privileges ....
Below is my post on the forum in to the seller the comment is with his post quoted on the forum but not here.....so my reply to the sellers for sale post is as follows ...
This is just for educational purposes as I would really hate to see anyone permanently lose the ability to use PayPal ... ... ... then again is quite a mystery to me why DGRIN allows anyone to even post an offer this way ... it should be in the flea market TOS that such things will cause your post to be deleted without warning ...
If shipping is included why not the 3% paypal fee???
You do realize that the single bolded line above is going against 2 items of the PayPal terms of service...
1st offense is the asking to be paid as a gift...the gifting is solely for that purpose..sending a gift to someone, also asking to be PAID for Merchandise using the gift option can in fact cause YOU, the seller, and the buyer to loose your PayPal privileges PERMANENTLY and the other reason it is wrong is that if the lens is damaged the buyer has absolutely no recourse.
2nd Offense is the asking for 3% more to use PayPal PROPERLY...It is NOT ok to ask to have added fees for this...IT IS HOWEVER PERFECTLY alright to just add the cost in...So if you would raise your price to $927 OR $930 that would be perfectly acceptable with the PayPal TOS...
