I normally catch on to most things but the gift thing still baffles me pretty much, I have tried it all, even Jay's step by step on the exact amounts and my findings are :
Doing it in increments : I get charged
Using paypal balance : I get charged
Using bank card : I get charged
Praying for mercy whilst clicking gift : I get charged!!!
Maybe it was free at some point I really can't remember that far back but there is a charge always for me, so I officially claim gift payments are gay ! :lol:
I just had to send a rather hefty payment for something and my instructions were - Send as a gift so he (the recipient) doesn't get slapped with the fee's... Now I really want what I am paying for so I sucked it up, but I felt like saying - do you realise I get slapped with the fee's and I don't appreciate it???
It's not a huge amount at the end of the day but sometimes its a kick in the teeth, sellers can have you over a barrel when they know you need something and to start pissing around moaning about the gift option might scupper your chances of completing the deal unfortunately
****ed if you do, ****ed if you don't!
What pisses me off even more is I have several installments left to pay on said deal and ill probably be expected to "gift" each time :roll:
