I personally think it should be banned, many new comers will not know how gift works etc,and they could easily be scammed or whatever. Paying that small fee is much safer,you have Paypal protection.Were as with gift you have NOTHING.

hmmm, good question to ask Col, and initially I jsut typed in a message saying I DONT think it should be banned as if I know the person then Im happy to gift them (eg. Dazzler, danclement, bigRed - all very reputable and 100% trustworthy)

However, I now DO think it should be banned. If it is banned on the listing, then new buyers are protected.

Yet this doesnt stop me choosing gift as an option when I log into my paypal account to pay - if I know the people and am happy to do so.

So maybe a good idea to ban it on here?
I vote yes.

Ban it. Too many people are getting ripped off.

I've generally always sent gift payments, but after reading this, I'll certainly be reluctant to do so in the future. As a seller, its easy to factor the Paypal fees into your asking price and as a buyer, personally I'll now prefer to pay a few extra quid for the peace of mind.
