Paypal Sent as "Gift"

[sc2413]

Im still new to NikeTalk (a little over a year) and have already been scammed ( by MH602 i think was his name). Im trying to upgrade my shoe game and I look to you guys for deals. And time and time again I see Sellers who keep asking for their paypal to be Sent as "gift" because they have %10000 feedback on Ebay and or they have 10000 Refs.  I already learned the hard way that honestly that dont mean anything.  And then you have Sellers upcharging people %3-4 percent if money is not sent as gift and then a Mod steps in and tells the seller you cant do that.  WHY NOT JUST MAKE EVERY1 HAPPY AND ADD THAT PERCENT TO YOUR PRICE FROM THE BEGINNING AND STOP ASKING FOR THE MONEY SENT AS A GIFT. Its very tiring and people have to understand that to us, "Newbies" Paypal is the only protection we got. Im sorry just had to get this off my chest. Im looking to pick up some kicks but all I see is "gift gift gift"

Just offer to pay the fees to cover your side. If they don't like it keep it moving. Don't let the thirst get ya.

This would work if NT wasn't filled with a bunch of low-ballers.

Scammed by MH602?? Man, I did a lot of deals with that guy in the past, it's a shame to hear he scammed you.

If sellers are smart they would factor in fees before listing their asking price. I do this before I list my prices for shoes I sell.^ ask him and he can vouch for me as an honest seller.

I haven't sold kicks in months but people lowball $15 from the jump. And don't forget they want you to ship priority, double boxed with tracking. Now don't get me wrong that's not a problem but when you want $15-$20 off my asking price because it says obo that's not gunna fly. If a seller only wants a gift payment even if you offer to pay the fee then that's a problem.
