Have some second thoughts on 'gifting' payments

[Scenery]

Something I found while lurking on another forum. It's changed my way of thinking paying via gifts now.

Spoiler

Ok so it seems this question has been asked around quite often recently. Basically... you should NEVER ask for payment or accept payments in gift form over paypal. Doing this numerous times WILL NOW cause your paypal account to become PERM limited and prevent you from EVER making another paypal account again (with your name + bank account + credit card + etc.). Paypal considers gift payments that are not actually gifts FRAUDULENT because they avoid the paypal fees. You MUST sell rs gold/accounts/services as virtual goods/services. These cannot be charged back and if somebody attempts to charge it back all you have to state is "virtual goods payments cannot be charged back" because they cannot. Sending or recieving too many gifts WILL result in a PERM limitation of paypal and banning of bank account + credit card + anything listed in your name + address + SSN etc.

-Do not use gift payments.
-Use virtual goods for account and gold.
-Use virtual services (or services) for services.
-Make sure your PP account cannot accept payments from credit card only funded PP accounts.

Holy shit, is this quoted from a forum or paypal rules?

Forum.
He stated that, haha.

And I don't think it is true but I wouldn't doubt it.
I am sure, Paypal has recognized by now that people are trying to abuse the gift option.

Idk, but it makes me wonder.

when they send as virtual goods, does it tell the reciever?

I'm assuming so.

Meh, I'm still going to receive gifts.

If I get banned, idc. I never really like paypal anyways. I'll move to like WU or playerauctions or something.

You'll keep that mindset until you have a huge chunk of money in your paypal and then you get banned.

Wow, I can't say I didn't know about the first part, but I didn't know you can block your paypal from recieving CC only funded paypal funds. I'm gonna go change that ASAP.

That someone can't just take someones credit card and pay for shit over paypal?

It means that if you have 0.00 in your balance and have a Creditcard and you send money.
That's a credit card only funded paypal.
