2 years ago I was browsing the buy/sell forum and saw some metallic Vs. The seller wanted them for $150 via gift payment. At the time I didn't know the difference between gift payments/regular payments. I told the seller that I would send $150 via paypal. I never specifically said I would send the money as a gift payment I told the seller that I would send him $150. After I send the money and 2 days pass by I ask "hey did you already ship the Vs?" The seller tells me that I messed up the payment because he only got $145 instead of $150. After a few messages back and forth he tells me that he can't afford to ship em since the $5 was deducted. At this point I'm fed up so I filed a dispute and only ended up getting $33 bucks back. The seller cleaned out his account over the days I was messaging him so I guess that was his plan along. Morale of the story never deal with sellers that press for gift payments
