I have been tempted to ask someone buying a knife from me to send the payment via Paypal as a gift to avoid the fee. Is that legal? Am I asking for trouble by doing that?

lus1:I have had forum members ask if I wanted paypal payment sent as a gift.
I said no because;
#1 if they have a typo and send the money to the wrong email the money is lost.
#2 they give up any recourse if the item they paid for does not arrive.
#3 when they send the payment as a gift it does not record any shipping info.
When sent as payment for goods paypal automatically transfers the shipping info and has a link to print the shipping label and postage.
Doing the shipping like that you get a discount on the postage and it gives a link to the tracking info so the buyer and seller can check the tracking easily.
