I thought you couldn't reverse gifts?
It wasn't a gift though. The buyer claimed it was a gift, but both the buyer and seller knew that this was a lie.

It wasn't a gift though. The buyer claimed it was a gift, but both the buyer and seller knew that this was a lie. To be a gift, the giver must have intended to transfer it to the recipient for no compensation -- this is called "donative intent". Since there was no donative intent, legally there was no gift. The transfer claiming to be a gift was fraudulent and can be reversed.

-Seller sold 10 BTC to some guy
-The buyer paid 110$ as a PayPal gift
-The seller withdrew the PayPal funds to his local bank(takes about 3 days)

Is there some hidden risk in this? the buyer can reverse the payment whenever he likes?
