I hate that when people think I'm going to send PayPal payments as gifts. Not a chance, buddy. I'd rather pay extra to the seller to cover his precious PayPal fee and have the insurance should he decide he doesn't want to ship the part.
PayPal fees are only 2.89% + $0.30 per transaction, I don't why everyone makes a big deal about it...
In Nate's scenario it is only $8ish. Who cares?! Lol.
