			I've been using it alot lately both as buyer and seller.  As long as you are dealing with somebody you know it's great.  Saved me a good bit of money on some lots I've bought.  pretty much zero protection though.  On the issue of using a credit card to send a gift for some protection, it is pointless.  I tried doing it on one deal as an experiment and if you try to send gift with a credit card it charges you a fee as the buyer.  If you are going to do that, you may as well just pay regular paypal and agree to cover the seller's fees.
