Welcome to 2014. I know we are dealing with 20 year old machines but change with the times, just be smart about it. Nothing dangerous about a seller accepting gift. Just for buyers. No way for a buyer to reverse the charge, no fees, and no waiting time for money to clear. This is same as cash.
Quoted from tjsynkral:The answer is, NO, there is NEVER a PayPal payment that comes with ZERO risk.
And YES, the buyer can chargeback the gift and the seller loses the money plus a chargeback fee.
This is false. If a buyer could charge back on gift this wouldn't even be a question. There is no chance of chargeback
Quoted from MinusWorlds:I'd like those who are voting no to give some feedback. A gift option is just that, the sender cannot file a PayPal claim and get the money back. TThenhey could do a charge back with their credit card company but the receiver would still have their money.
I purchased a pin this exact way from another pinsider. Went to their house, liked the pin, busted open the laptop. Money gifted. Deal done.
Stop voting "no" when you don't clearly don't understand how it works. The question was is it safe, the answer is yes. Period.
Obviously a smart man who I wish could enlighten the southwest.
