Seems to me that if you opt for the convenience of the service offered then someone (buyer, seller or both) should pay for it and not complain about the cost or cheat Paypal out of it. IMO, if you don't want to pay for the service, don't use it. Send a check or MO. When I don't want to pay for it, I ask the seller or buyer to go that route and if they want to use Paypal, I ask them to foot the cost for the service they want to use. I would not feel comfortable falsifying the nature of the transaction to avoid the fee.

If you send money using the personal tab you have no protection. I wouldn't recommend or advocate using this method for an Ebay auction. It is to be used amongst friends and family and people you trust.
Cheat Ebay / Paypal out of fees??? Give me a break!
I have an E merchant account and also own a brick and mortar business. My Credit Card processor gives me free debit card transactions and IMHO it was long overdue for paypal.
This post was for informational use only and it was not my intention to get people on a bandwagon to cheat Poor ole Paypal..
