hello, I recently bought something online and the buyer asked me to send paypal gift as paypal takes a PCT. of the transaction and he wanted the total not whatever was left after the fees. I did and now he won't send the merchandise and paypal won't let me file a dispute because I sent it as a gift. look out for this scam. I had no idea they could get around this but it works. beware....greg
