Sellers STILL accepting money as gift?
Just make sure you get their NT username before you negotiate. You can leave them a negative.

Always thought paypal gift is the best way to accept money as a seller? They can't charge back in any way since it was a gift?

Everyone thinks paying as gift doesnt offer BUYER protection. It actually doesnt offer BUYER nor SELLER protection.
If the funds were pulled from CC/Bank Acct and not the Paypal balance, the buyer can easily file a chargeback and you're screwed.
Paypal will tell you to kick rocks because you received payment as a gift.

Sending money as a gift is a huge no no.

I see. Are they allowed to file a charge back when it's a gift though? I understand PP has to give it back and you get screwed if the claim is successful, but since it's a gift and not stolen or purchasing anything, will the CC/Bank allow them to charge back?

They don't, got rejected to ship pretty much every time, but I kinda talked my way in to them letting me.

They can tell their CC/Bank anything they want. The Bank honestly couldnt care less about Paypal. Their loyalty lays with their customers.
Basically when it comes to gift payments..The bank doesnt care about paypal, and paypal doesnt care about you (buyer or seller) lol

Just did some research and people are saying PP gift is pretty safe now that you CAN'T use a credit card/bank to send PP gift as an option. It has to be used with PP balance which means there is no way to charge back from the CC/bank and since there's no protection on both ends, once you get the money, you get the money.

Not 100% confirmed/sure, just read what I saw/googled lol. Will obviously need to make sure before I reach a conclusion, but thanks for the information, really useful for online sellers/buyers.

Hmm that sucks then, no real safe way of sending money . It would actually be really smart (for the seller at least) for PP to use that idea of PP balance only for gifts.

Regarding the shipping boxes, it's not a flat rate box
I didn't watch the video posted but from a guide I read years ago, you're suppose to order a priority box from USPS that is similar to the flat rate box except it's not flat rate. That said, I did that with flat rate boxes before. If you just tell the worker to measure the box dimensions and then just calculate the price as if it was some other box, it should be the same but most of these workers are too lazy. Most of the time I just keep the boxes I get packages in to reuse

As much as you have to jump through hoops to buy a particular shoe, you have to do the same to sell the same shoe you jumped through hoops for these days.

Gotta love NT. Always
^Shoes go for $300 now. I was letting them go for retail + shipping. Hooked up half the people in that thread and at least 2 people in this one.
^Was letting Fear IV's go for retail + shipping + a $10 premium to help out with the gas I spent going to get the shoes.
I try to help out the community as much as possible when I am able to. With all of these flakers, that's honestly about to come to an end except for those who I've built relationships with in the past.
This statement is 100% true. However, I also make sure I do take time and help out NTers when I can.

^I seriously did not know that. Wow. Thanks. Guess paying that pesky lil' 4% will be to my advantage in the long run SMH...This is the misconception everybody has.Always thought paypal gift is the best way to accept money as a seller? They can't charge back in any way since it was a gift?

@AirForce1King where you located bro.i'll give you more then retail if your local
i dont like flakes either
but if your going to say your going to buy something keep your word or just man up and say in not buying i changed my mind & we both keep it moving
what burn's me more is a cheap flaker for a $60.00 shoe then someone flaking on something costing $350.00
i could understand that
but flakers are part of reselling

You prolly scared dude away with the gift comment. Eventhough longtime members know you're legit, not everyone does.
