PLEASE TAKE NOTICE!!
• Requesting and/or requiring a buyer to use the PayPal "gift" option for payment of goods is a direct violation of PayPal Terms of Service! (TOS) and effectively asks the buyer to commit fraud by declaring the payment as a gift rather than payment for goods.
• While CPF is not in the business of enforcing PayPal TOS, CPF does not and will not support or condone what could be considered 'illegal activities'.
• Morality and illegality aside, the "gift" option removes the buyer's right to utilize the PP protection, and his ability to lodge a PP dispute and/or claim vs. the seller if something goes wrong (package doesn't arrive, contents not as stated, etc). In making a gift payment, the buyer has absolutely no redress at all.
• Therefore, the request and/or requirement from a seller for a buyer to use the "gift" option for the sale of goods in a sales thread in a public forum is prohibited in any and all buy/sell/trade threads on CPF.
• In addition, PayPal TOS states: " You agree that you will not impose a surcharge or any other fee for accepting PayPal as payment. This restriction does not prevent you from imposing a handling fee in connection with the sale of goods or services, as long as the handling fee does not operate as a surcharge (in other words, the handling fee for transactions paid through PayPal may not be higher than the handling fee for transactions paid through other payment methods)."
• Members who do NOT heed this notice and comply with the policies outlined WILL have their post/thread removed WITHOUT notice or explanation.
• TAKE NOTE!!! --->What takes place in private (PM or otherwise) between buyers and sellers is none of CPF's business.
• The Buy/Sell/Trade Forums are provided by CPF for private sales by our members. If you are a dealer or a manufacturer, your sales threads do NOT belong here. See "definitions" below.
• It is the responsibility of all members using this forum to know the Policies that apply, and to abide by them.
