If someone is new to the forum then one would hope they are intelligent enough to find out the implications of paying by gift if they are handing cash over to someone they don't know.
All you can do is ensure that the information is made available to those that choose to read it. This can be in the form of a 'Sticky' thread, or can be tagged onto every single for sale item at the bottom of the post.

Agree with a 3 points raised here. My POV is that the agreement is made by the buyer & seller on how the transaction is made, whether it be as a gift payment or not. The extra 4% fee acts as insurance should the worse happen, which for a lot of guys see the benefits of this instead of it being an extra 'monetory' value that they have to give up.
I usually go the 'gift' route as I know that from my end, I take a conciencious approach in the way I conduct myself, and I do everything I can to ensure that what I say I do gets done. Never had a problem touch wood. And if I buy, I tend to deal with guys I know.
