I'll pop to the post office tomorrow

A warning, not that it may apply here

But sending money via a PayPal gift in any transaction, removes you from the PayPal protection of purchase.

Just a point to note if you enter any transaction requiring a "gift" payment, regardless of the source

PM sent.....

Thanks Dragrad, the missus only mentioned the gift thing to avoid Paypal charges.
Good advice though for any transaction more than pennies, it's best to avoid sending as a gift.

It remind me of being stung on Ebay ages ago when I was still a bit green.
I bought something which had a low purchase price but high postage, the seller was avoiding fees.
No problem I thought, but when the item arrived it was broken. When the wife claimed through Paypal we only received the purchase price and not the postage.
We were around £80 out of pocket

Also apologies for the rule breakage, dunno what happened there. Common sense should have dictated not to publish an email address on a public forum
