if you mark the payment as a personal gift there is no fee...
I've never had problems with paypal. KEYS:dont buy anything you're sketched out about b/c filing a claim is a bitch. Just make sure the person is legit and do your homework.

Is there somewhere I can look on paypal to see there legitimacy? Something like a sex offender website with stats and stuff?

Never use paypal. I lost $1200 because of their shitty service. Could never get a hold of anyone and the guy skated. www.paypalsucks.com horror stories from thousands of people

I've heard you can only gift a certain amount of time(the people at paypal aren't that stupid)


My main problem is how it was a pain for me to get working, I had my moms name on my bank account from when she was a joint account person but she has a paypal account so she didn't want her name showing up on 2. So I had to create a new bank account to activate it.

I sold 3 things on NS before this and had 50 bucks in my paypal. They called me and asked what I was doing and how did I get 50 bucks in my paypal. It was 50 bucks which shouldn't be that suspicious.

Everything is squared up now I have just had my problems.
