As a side note concerning the "gifting" of payments (whether or not this happened in this instance) I would suggest not ever doing that. I often see sellers asking for payment to be sent this way, but the buyer has no protection or recourse if there are problems with the transaction. People may complain about Paypal fees, but IMO the 3% is worth it for the convenience and protection. I think people forget Paypal is providing a service, and think they are just taking some of the money for no reason at all.
