Plain and simple. Everyone knows why sellers will require Paypal Gift for payments, so I don't need to point out the reasoning behind it. That said, this is from an advisor at Paypal:
Note that I am not saying "Everyone on MG must pay fees!". I'm saying that if you want to arrange something with a seller regarding a sale, do it in PMs or emails. If you post something here requiring Paypal Gift as a requirement, it will be deleted. It's up to you to cover yourself on the internet, so be smart about it.
One more time:
Keeping that in mind, going forward on this site ANY ad posting a paypal gift requirement will be deleted by the staff without warning. So you people who are keen on copy/pasting from other sites, you'll need to keep that in mind if you're going to post your gear/guitars/etc for sale here.
