How to Verify I sent money as a Gift.

[Skupples]

Hello Paypal Forums. I have a question for you!

I am in the process of getting ready to possibly dispute a payment I sent. I don't remember if I sent the money as a gift or not. I don't see anything about gifting the money when I view the payment history. How do I verify that I sent money as as gift? You would think it would state it right there in the history. 

I can view & dispute the transaction in the dispute center, which makes me think I send it under "goods/services" but that is applying logic to PayPal systems.

Thank you for any help you can give me!

Unfortunally it's not as simple as simply find the word "Gift".   Here's some thoughts:

Once you have received payment, click on details. If the fee was $0.00, that is your first indication it was a gift. However there are other methods to send with no fees, for instance mass payments so this one indicator doesn't prove it was a gift.

To make sure it was a gift, click the "issue a refund" link.

If it was indeed a Gift, under "Refund Amount" it will say:
(Partial refunds are not available for personal payments or for transactions marked as pending)

As long as it's not a pending payment, it was a Gift. If you're able to make a Partial Refund it was NOT a gift payment.

Also, if you can see a shipping address, it's usually an indication that it's not a gift!

Thank you for the response, but i'm inquiring on how to check HOW I sent money. Not how money was sent to me.
