Cheers bhara, used this last night.
From what i could work out it's only possible if you send money, i couldn't find an option to do it if you are paying for something or sending money to a request. There was also a 1% charge which you can choose to pay yourself or pass on to the recipient.
Much better than the 4% they normally cream off.

yh you can only do this if your paying someone
no charge at all
dont know what your doing to make the 1% thing happen because i dont get that when i send money as gift

So let me get this straight:
If I'm sending money (i.e. if buying soups), of course I don't get charged for using PPal, BUT if I'm waiting for cash (i.e. if someone's buying from me), and they send payment marked as a gift, then I won't get dinged %4???
Please verify as I've a number of items to/from happening over the next few weeks!!!!
If this is the case - you da man Bhara!

Thats about it.
From what i could work out but i may have done it wrong (hence the 1%)
The other person has to initiate the transaction by using the 'send money', they then get the choice of 'personal' then the option to send it as a 'gift'.
If you request money from them or if its linked straight from a sale on ebay etc then i don't think there is a 'gift' option for them to use.
Hope that helps.

spot on
you get no charge for recieving at all
the person who sends you payment has to just mark it as gift by sending it as a personal payment

glad its going to save you some money

Any idea what the trail is? I tried testing it, but still saw no 'gift' option...i.e. went to PPal, selected send money payment (not ebay), choose other (not ebay product or goods), then it just went ot another screen to verify...
Thx

you go to send money - the tab is at the top
then the page that comes up gives you two tabs
purchase or personal
click personal
them mark the payment as gift
and the rest is normal from then

Ah THAT was the missing link! Thanks J4! So the trick is to get the other side to initiate by requesting 'send money', then I have the options of 'personal/gift' etc...nice! Will be testing this out very soon!

Not quite,
THEY will get the option of how they want to send the money, so you need to organize it with them before they start the transaction.
