Post: Paypal Gift vs Modded Lobbies

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hello everyone, before you start judging my post why not try reading it first. I know I'm new to these forums and pretty much a no name but I would like to share some words of wisdom :]

I see that a lot of modded lobbies require you to send them money via PayPal and as a gift(Biggest reason I don't want to pay for one even if someone is trusted) and the reason they do this is to avoid paying the fee that comes with when you treat the payment as service/goods

Now as good as it is to avoid this cost the fee for a modded lobby that would cost you 25 is $1.03 now that's not to bad right? So what Im getting at here is because you cannot dispute ( get your money back) when you send money to a stranger who even though is "verified" or "trusted" can just take your money and you cant do a thing about it.


Ahh here's the fun part time for some math :]

If a lobby cost you $25 and you send it as service/goods you get charged $1.03.
So the person receiving the money get $23.97. <--- Thats not $25
So you would need to send $26.1 in order to make it 25.04 (PayPal has a weird charge rate its impossible to get exactly $25)
You must login or register to view this content. <--- Check yourself

Now if your paying $25 for something you can do on your own but are to lazy to (not judging anyone) I'm sure you can pay an extra $1.1 to ensure that what your getting is really what you paid for.


Now don't get me wrong I'm not looking at this from just my point if view. Yes sending as gifts make the transaction a little faster and stupid people who join the lobby get what they want and just dispute the payment but it worth the risk of getting scammed? But it goes both ways here depends on the buyer and the seller.

So my question to not only the people who host these lobbied but the community why don't these "trusted" and "verified by Mr.Dopey guys" make it so you can send the money as service/goods to make them seem more legit? That would ensure a lot more skeptical people like me to pay.

Comments (Not on the post but the idea) What would you do/think?

I'm opening for anything I gladly take criticism, flamming, spamming and name calling so let em rip Happy

The problem with service/goods is that as soon as the lobby is over the guy who paid just reports the payment and gets his money back. So the guy hosting the lobby never actually has the money. When you do it as a gift, then only the guy hosting the lobby can report and send your money back. This is why only verified guys can host, because they are trustworthy and will actually send your money back if there is a problem.
