1. You send it as a gift and like every other gift, once you give it to someone, you don't get it back.
2. This section is reserved for questions regarding this forum.

Your correct. On a gift payment, there's no fees but the risk of getting scammed. If you pay the 3% fee on regular paypal you can file a dispute and usually get your money back.

So, yeah if you sent money as a gift and didn't get what you paid for then you won't get that money back.
