Quoted from tonycip:or make them send you the paypal as a gift. you cant dispute a gift...
100% wrong.
This is crazy dangerous advice!!!!
Just because Paypal does not let you dispute a gift, that does NOT stop someone from doing a chargeback on their credit card.
People loose $10000s of dollars every day because the **know** that you can not dispute a gift.
Quoted from tonycip:ok if there picking it up you make them sign a receipt marked sales final machine is as is!.
No, that does not work either.
Paypal does not accept non-digital tracking delivery verification.

You can have the buyer sign a 20 page document saying "as is" "no warranty" "picked up in person", Paypal will not honor it.
Quoted from pinnaf:Has anyone been talked into a bank transfer of funds to buy a game (since seller's always reluctant or want take paypal) , done the transfer then never heard back and OUT THE MONEY?
Yep, common scam.

Quoted from Leeb18509:There's no point sending money on Paypal as a gift and using a credit card, they charge you the fees you were trying to avoid anyway.
They are not using "gift" to avoid a fee, they are using it because fools believe that you can't dispute a gift.
After they get the item, they file a dispute with the credit card company and you loose the game and the money both.
