Re: "Gift" Option on PayPal?
Thank you. I just told him I am not comfortable using the "gift" option. I'll let you know what he says.
I didn't want to attach his name to a negative post in case he's a good guy.
Re: "Gift" Option on PayPal?
Okay!
Looks good. He apologized a bunch and said no one had ever told him that before. He also said in the future he will not use the "gift" option.
I'm satisfied. :P

We decided that the fee would be included in the price. I was happy to pay the extra $18. :)

Straight from paypal's website:
There is no protection for live animals with Paypal. A lot of people do the gift thing. Doesn't matter which way you pay because like I said live animals are not covered.

While true, if you back up your PP with a credit card rather than your bank account, you have the protections from your CC company. If the critter arrives and it is dead, blowing snot, infested with mites, or otherwise not as advertised, the seller won't make it right, and PP won't go to bat for you, you can still dispute the charge with your CC company.

the gift thing means they don't have to send anything. If you pay for a live animals they have to at least send you a dead one. They can't send a box of rocks and say live animals aren't covered.
