PayPal sent as a GIFT cannot be refunded/claimed against and usually no fee.
Buyers usually cover any associated fees.
I have bought and sold many items using this method. Never any issues.

That isn't true. Paypal sent as a gift can be funded via credit card and CAN be charged back. If you charge back the CC, the CC will charge back paypal, who will then charge back the seller. In theory, paypal seller protection protects the seller against fraudulent chargebacks, but if you read the actual terms and conditions, they leave themselves enough outs to chargeback pretty much any transactions. I can assure you 100 percent, if a buyer successfully charges back through their credit card company you WILL be chargedback, paypal is not going to eat the loss.
Have you ever attempted to get a charge reversed with your credit card company? Very hard to do mate. Not trying to start a pissing war here. Believe what you want but I know what I have and have not done. Peace yo.
Getting a charge reversed with a credit card company is not at all hard to do. I'm not going to argue with you on this, you are free to believe whatever you want. And I wouldn't have said anything at all, except that you are telling people a gift payment is safe and can't be charged back, and if someone trusts you on this, they could potentially lose a lot of money to a fraudulent chargeback.
yes Fraud is possible via paypal .. and many other ways .. There are thousands if not millions of transactions done on ebay via paypal daily.. but as long as you do your due diligence via ebay feedback its generally safe ... I can provide my ebay feed back ( 661-0) which is even better then my heatware feed back but since you can not leave -ve feedback for buyers it may not reflect the full picture.. I have updated my post for paying with EMT (interact) for reputable canadian sellers which is like direct bank deposit here in canada via email ..
I have done one successful paypal transaction here with 'omgitsjoe' ..( great guy by the way).. we have not exchanged any feedback/ratings here on this forum ..but we will do it soon..
