Quoted from mcclad:If I gift the payment, would I still be covered under paypal's buyer protection? What if the seller does not ship the machine?
No, you forfeit your right to any sort of protection when you gift something via PayPal. It's exactly as it sounds....you are giving someone a gift, and they are not required to give you anything in return.
Quoted from Phetishboy:This is only true when using a credit card. If you have a bank account attached to your paypal account, no one pays any fees to paypal.
This is exactly right. You used to be able to do it even *with* a credit card....but they eventually closed that loophole.
