A word of caution
I have noticed a recent move for sellers on the BST to want Paypal payment only as a "gift option." I understand the reason behind this, but want to offer a word of caution to all buyers who do this.
If I understand the Paypal info correctly, you're making a trade-off by using this option. Yes, the recipient will not have to pay the paypal fee (3%, or whatever it is) but the buyer will have zero protection if the deal goes bad.
If you know the seller and have done deals before, you'll probably be fine. If you don't, you're taking a chance.
Just a caution when using "gift option."
(Note - This post was a general thought and NOT directed to any specific sellers!)
