As a lawyer I’ll give you the ultimate and best tip (which you may ignore but I’ll give it anyway)...
Read the PayPal terms and conditions. Why am I suggesting this? Because when the deal goes south that is the only thing that counts. You’ll be reading them and wondering why you took the advice of random pinsiders.
I’m not being sarcastic in any way. Read the terms.
Don’t feel like reading them? Don’t use PayPal for this. Trust me.
Quoted from tonycip:I don't think a gift can ever be charged back from paypall, I just called paypall and they said that the credit card co would need prof that it was a fraudulent charge on there credit card. and you have proof that it wasn't "delivery receipt" .then they would not get there money back.
How is it remotely logical that PayPal would let you keep a “gift” just because you proved you had a delivery receipt. It was a gift you shouldn’t have been shipping anything. Think about this...
Again - everyone here should read PayPal’s terms. I wouldn’t trust a thing the employee says because that won’t help you when you are out a few thousand.
Quoted from tonycip:OK Flip side how would anybody give a GIFT and expect to be able to get it back!!
what ever.. I'm just glad not everyone is as paranoid as some of you, or I wouldn't have half the machine's I own, since I used pay pal to buy them.
time to drain this thread...
“Dear PayPal someone used my credit card to give a gift I didn’t authorize”. Funds locked up and pissing match begins.
Bottom line - if you violate PayPal’s terms of service and think they will bend over backwards to help you - then good luck.
I like being paranoid. Have I lost a deal or two along the way? Absolutely. But no one has stolen my money.
