Oh dear..am I correct in thinking that if you pay for goods or services you can get paypal involved but as gift you can't?
As you can probably tell I dont use it that often..

Oh dear, you paid for goods through paypal and tried to do a gift deposit to save paying a few quid!!
Going to cost you a lot more then the 3% charge that paypal use!!
Just count yourself lucky it wasn't a few thousand pounds and put it down as a lesson learned, I know its a proper kick in the *****, but just dont get caught out like this again!!!

Bet you won't send a gift again!
I always give people the option then it is their decision, so unless you go knock on his door you are on a hiding to nothing

A gift payment is fine as long as you know that your buying from a reputable seller,but that's the rub right there,unless you are 100% sure just send it through paypal goods as that is exactly what it is.A gift payment to the wrong seller is just that "A GIFT!!!".SJ.

Let me think:
1. bought via PayPal gift
2. bought via random message on a car forum
3. bought from random low post, newbie member
Stupid is a harsh word, perhaps "******* unbelievably naive" is a better turn of phrase...?

Exactly, trusted
Not as per my previous post of randomer shifting their goods on another thread.I've bought from friends on here before, friends being the operative word.

you are well known on here tho so that's why I trusted you 
Wouldn't have done the same with a newbie but we all make mistakes and hopefully learn from them. Unlucky to the op and cheers for the heads up to everyone.

I must try and get SN to change my join date so it looks like I haven't been here as long as you guys.How do you buy something from a shop, that has never been sold in a shop, oh wise one?

I could start small but I have never come across anything that I've wanted that I couldn't get else where.
In fact, while my little brain is ticking over I did once buy a tv/dvd for my truck a few years back, it took a few day's to arrive but when it did the remote wasn't working so I sent the seller a message and the next day he replied saying he has sent a new one.
So about 5 day's after deciding to but a little tv I had myself said tv and two remotes, although I was pleased with the seller the new remote still didn't work so I went to the shop that I was trying to save the effort of going to by buying of the net in the first place for a specific battery.
In short for a small saving I had to wait about 6 days and still did the journey I was trying to avoid in the first place, since then I haven't bothered but iam sure the day will come that I buy from off the net again.
