There's a system in use aready Shaun called I trader. I don't think everyone uses it though ...
I think the fee think will be annoying IMO, But i do understand where you are comming from. Why not do some sort of trader perk, if some one has brough something, recieved it and happy then then get good feed back. Abit like ebay tbh, and then the buyer can look on the feedback and if he has a few bad one or something, then it reasures them. Just a thought si

We have itrader which has been going for years now lol
well i gave a trader rating to the people i buyed from but i think it would be good if the buyer would receive a trader to,so when he offers for something or is pending a sale the seller should know if it's serious a buyer or not.for me the trader rating is very important as i buy something that need shiping to other country can't pay a big amount of money to someone that has no trader,maybe it screws me up.sorry for my bad english,alex
I think Some people may be confused, paypal has nothing to do with the forum, it's just a simple way of sending money to a stranger, which is precisely what 90% of the users are to other users.
I can't sit and say that paying as a gift is banned, because it's always down to the individual. If you dont want to pay fees and risk it then that's up to you.
The itrader system is in place to help people show their trading reputation, just like eBay.
If you chose to buy from someone with little or no reputation then paying paypal fees is a little bit of insurance.
What I can ask is for sellers not to ask for payments as a gift, because it's not a gift it's a payment for an item.
When ever I said payments on paypal I always cover the fees swell as putting a description of what it is I'm paying for too just so I can link that payment with the item just incase
But then how would it be policed? Couldn't ban someone for recieving a gift payment. Nor for sending a gift payment, that's why I keep saying it's down to the buyers discression.
