[92nsx]

A little unknown secret about paypal, that if you send the $$ as a "gift" under the "personal" tag, then recipient don't get charges any fees :evil2:.

I just found out about it and thought some of you would like to know

Just keep in mind this also bypasses any of the normal PayPal protection if the deal goes sour.

It's a gamble but if it's someone you know and trust it'll save you a few $

IIRC sending it in payment for "services" bypasses all fees while gift just makes you pay the fees.

They might have changed it though...

All I know a few buddies that didn't have cash when buying a few parts from me sent it as a "gift" and no fees were taken out on either end.

Do I really care if I save $3, nope but I know there are still a few members that want you to add 3% when paying with paypal, witch make no since to me. Your going to get lowballed anyways.
