This avoids fees but if you have problems with the sale PayPal doesn't have to step up for you to help with getting money back. That's what you pay for by paying the little bit extra for "goods or services".On the subject of PayPal,,,,from my experience, I tell people to use the "send cash to friends/family "option... That way there are no fees charged...I don't know if there is a limit on the amount of money sent where PayPal charges a fee...
