AsBakedAsCake Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Hoping someone knows the actual answer to this: Is it okay to receive payments on PayPal as "gift?" I've sold 07 via gold websites for years and usually I'll receive a "payment" upon completing the sale. Is it alright to sell to gold sites who send their payment via "gift" PayPal option? Basically I sold gold last night to 07RS3 gold and upon discussion of $/M we agreed upon a price and they agreed to pay the "fee." I make ~100 sales per year and for the first time ever I received the money as "gift." I assume PayPal doesn't get fees this way. Should I continue selling to people/sites that do this? I just thought it was a bit weird. I googled around a bit for about an hour and couldn't find a direct answer. Any advice appreciated, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any advice appreciated, thanks fees are used upon payments that are not within the same country. (atleast it is for the netherlands) even payments made as gift can be disputed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More concerned about breaking the PayPal terms of service or something for receiving gift as payment - not exactly a charge back/dispute. I've never had to deal with a charge back, been selling over 3 years. Just trying to figure out if receiving as gift for "payment" purposes is technically breaking their rules or not Appreciate the replies btw Edited November 26, 2018 by AsBakedAsCake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w0mack Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Um I would let it slide this time, but I would be more careful about receiving payments so your account isn't flagged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatestrose Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Gifting is still possible to file a chargeback with, just be careful who you deal with but try to use goods & services, so you can prove you gave them the goods they requested.
