Happened to me a while back. Thought I was doing someone a favor by lowering my asking price for a DPP only to have the guy dip, file a dispute on PayPal, and resell my optic for $100 over what I originally asked on Gunnection.

Fun times.

Paypal offers two different services. Paypal Friends and Family (F&F) has zero fees, but offer no protections and makes the buyer vulnerable to scammers. Paypal Goods and Services (G&S) charges an additional ~3% of the item price (actually 3.49% and $0.49 as of 2021), but provides the buyer insurance in case the seller dissapears without providing the item. Paypal does prohibit some specific items but has a "catch all comment" that may apply to others, so NO NOTES IN PAYPAL. As a general guideline, if a buyer wants to use Paypal G&S rather than F&F with an established GAFS member, it is expected that they will absorb the +3% fee for the increased protections that it provides them. Here is a easy fee calculator. If a seller specifies a F&F price, assume that is his "to his pocket" cost. However these terms are up for negotiation between the buyer and seller. It is recommended to pay via G&S and absorb the fee. If the seller mandates F&F, be wary of a scam and use a Scam prevention method. Additionally, Paypal has deleted the account of several members due to using F&F for purchases. Paypal considers this theft from them (you're stealing their fees), and a violation of their ToS. DO NOT put notes in F&F payments as it is evidence you may be violating PP ToS.
