As a 'seller' I prefer paypal just for the safety and convenience it offers. I haven't asked anyone to 'gift' the money for a transaction. I prefer to print my labels through the transactions for the time savings and ease of printing a legible label. The fees charged by paypal are the price of doing business and I am fine with that. I just was surprised at how it seemed as paypal was involved in all transactions. I am not complaining per se, just had this happen and was caught off guard and wondered if anyone else had this happen.
