    Hey all,
    I am using paypal personal account...I knew it also need fees if i get the money from someone
    But he sent me the money as "gift"...paypal charged me nothing..
    I am confused..If I want to receive $500 or $1000,can he still use this button???
    Is it safe?
    Thanks

    I don't think so.
    I don't advice you to use paypal for large amount of money.

    If you done this few times per years then its ok.
    But you overdo it,paypal will suspect it then they will limited your account.

    I was asking the same thing, I'm sending all the payments below $0.5 "as a gift" but I'm kindda worried about that.

    Mass pay should be used when you send payments in bulk or else personal tab is ok

    I use paypal just for small transfers, like $7 - 20$ and I am ok right now, no limited, but with large amounts I prefer something apart of paypal

    Yeh.. you must be carefull.. dont do too many large amounts. If paypal suspects you, they may catch you.
    its very easy for them to catch you. thats what they are always doing.. trying to find a reason to rip off everyone.
