    I was supposed to hear back on Tue/Wed after he had got some transportation prices... still waiting! He is now simmering a way on the back burner as far as im concerned as i readvertised it Sunday night as planned.
    If he BT's me the money ill remove the ad.. if not then it gets sold He may well moan, but without even a deposit, ill just add him to spam
    So far he cost me nothing but a little time.

    Thanks to josweet

    I always thought if you send via PayPal as a "gift" you don't get any protection?

    I would think if you claimed the account was hacked and you didn't make the payment you would get it returned although I haven't checked this.

    From what I understand you don't get buyer/seller protection when you send as a gift.

    “gift” or “personal” payments are intended as transfer of funds from family or friends to one another. For this reason, there is no processing fee when payment is made with bank or PayPal balance. On the other hand, as it is a “personal” payment, there is no Buyer or Seller Protection Policy, as no goods or services have been exchanged.

    As for the original poster, fuck that. I would say UK mainland shipping only. Save yourself a lot of hassle and avoid the possibility getting scammed.

    Yes I understand their 'policy' but if an account is hacked then the hacker can't send money to a friend or family of the account holder so the transaction would instantly be in breach of the policy, I would think and again this is opinion a credit card company would allow a chargeback and in that case I would expect PayPal to take the money back or put a charge against the account. They may well ask the receiver to prove the person sending the money is either family or a friend which of course they would not be able to again being in breach of the policy.
