So Im selling some stuff on another forum.  I always prefer to do all sales in person but the buyer has an outstanding history.  He asked if I would be willing to ship and accept payment through paypal.  He said if I want (he didnt care either way) I can receive the money as a gift to avoid paying merchant fees to Paypal.  

I don't really give a shit about ripping off paypal since they're anti-2A but I am worried about getting ripped off.  Anybody have any tips besides make sure you receive payment before shipping (duh)?

PayPal sends you an email when you receive a payment so just wait for that then go check to make sure it is fully received and then mail him the package.

Seller is safe with the gift option.  No take backs from a buyer.

accept the gift payment, they can't make a counterclaim unless it's unauthorized use of a CC or something

Don't put anything gun related in the messages!  They will slap your peepee and steal your money.

Were doing all actual business related messages via Calguns PM.  Will just say stuff like "I am glad you enjoyed our service" or something like that IF I even have to

But thanks for the tip.

Since PayPal became a public stand alone company their policies have started to gravitate towards we don't care what you are buying...we want your money. I paid for my life membership to the NRA with PayPal.
