Hi simone01, 

 

You are correct. Gift payments are for friends and family and not designed for the purchase of goods or services. When a payment is sent as a gift payment there is no seller or buyer protection on the transaction as gift payments do not need it. 

 

You can report this information by sending an email via the contact us link with any details you have. 

 

Thanks for posting
