Using PP as a gift when its not a gift is lying and stealing from PP ,is it or is it not???
It is and makes no difference how many people lie about sending money to some one and saying its a gift when its not , its still lying and stealing PP fees ............
You are welcome to think that's not lying and thieving ,.
In my book the OP got sucked in but it doesn't change the fact he did exactly what he did to pp as the buyer did to him .
The op got lied to and ripped off just like he lied to PP and ripped them off .
No big deal happens all the time ,, ( your words its alright to lie and thieve because it happens all the time . right .
