Right well to start with this is the story...
I want to buy something off Gumtree and I want to pay via PayPal,
So I get in touch with seller...
Blah, blah, blah....
Then we agree on a price, etc...
So I'm ready to pay...
Pay it...
And then the seller refunds the money back to me......?
And asks me to send then money as a 'Gift'....
However this is not a 'Gift' and is not 'Personal'.....?!
Because I don not know the seller personally....?!!
So I'm a bit confused....
What should I do...?
Is this a scam...?
Should I trust the seller...?
If it is a scam.....
WILL I BE REFUNDED!!!
SO IF I SEND MONEY TO SOMEONE WHO I DON'T EVEN KNOW AS A 'GIFT' AND THEY END UP SCAMMING ME AND TAKING MY MONEY, WILL I RECEIVE A FULL REFUND????!
HELP.
Pleas Help...
Give me some advice

Hi Ashee
If buying goods always use the goods option, if you send it as a gift you will not get your money back no do not trust another scammer Ashee!!
You're lucky they refunded it!
