Not that I’m trying to advocate for sending payment as gift. If people are being ripped off then by all means you should protect yourself. It's just a shame that people will go to such lengths just to rip someone off.

You're saying it's ok to scam pay pal out of their money if it's a tight knit community and you trust the other person?

It's not about avoiding fees, it's about buyer / seller trust. Shipping costs more because you have to use signature confirmation according to PayPal. It's really expensive to add this for international customers, which in many cases will later choose not to move forward because of the shipping costs involved. Unless you have an active ebay sellers account tied to PayPal, PayPal will hold your money until 3 days after shipping confirmation of delivery or 21 days after the sale, whichever comes first. You can get around this by verifying your account, but that entails the bank account steps i listed above.
All I was trying to say was that it is a shame that these things happen to the point to where there becomes a general distrust of people within the same community.

PayPal charges fees to the sender for gift payments, the only exception is when using an existing PayPal balance (which would already have had fees take from it) or a registered bank account. People rarely use the bank account option, because unless you've gone through the process of binding it (only available via some banks), verifying it with your social, and giving PayPal a ton of personal information, then it will either not clear or be sent as an eCheck which can take over a week to clear.

I've printed multiple labels through PayPal and haven't ever required signature confirmation. There is NO justification for a gift payment.
