How do I know...

How do I know if someone has sent me a gift via paypal.

Hi, these two quotes should answer your question (I hope )

I was doing a transaction today, and my customer said that he sent the money as a gift. Of course, when I received payment, it said "Payment From," rather than "Gift from"

To see if you have received a payment as a GIFT, there will be a "Shipped" option on the payment status.

Any reasoning behind this?

If there's shipping status, it means that IT'S NOT a gift.

Also, if paypal takes money out of the original payment, it's NOt a gift.

Yeah but you can do the option where you pay the commission.
