Paypal "gift" question

[sbfinley]

I don't mind paying a small fee for the right to use their auction format or the payment service they own. When they decide they want a percentage of the cost of shipping, I get annoyed as do other people. If someone wants to throw a $50 card on the Net54 B/S/T and save some money by offering paypal gift I don't mind. Before long it wouldn't surprise me if they wanted a percentage of the cost of the slab of a graded card.

That being said I wouldn't buy a "Super Sik Lebron/Jordan Patch Auto" for 2k from "KingJamesDaBomb" with paypal gift. That's dumb.

But if one of the hundred or so great Net54's I have either met or dealt with before would like to receive paypal gift for a $40 Zeenut I don't mind.

I look at paypal gift as ebay/paypal saying "Yup, we're going to squeeze every cent we can out of you, so here is a bone. But if you're going to be dumb with it and get burned, you are on your own."
