[quote name='bunk22']1. when sending a paypal gift there is no fees ( 1 guy refused to send me $ as a gift and paypal took .46 cents as a fee i believe
2. when i host i use a psn card as i dont have a credit card or debit card and there is no fees when buying psn games except for tax unless you use a state that doesnt use tax
3. i would say its safe on any end although your at your own risk for gamesharing but if someone really wanted to dispute over a couple of bucks then your really only out a couple of bucks.
hosting is easy make a phony email, set up a psn account, buy the game, and share with cags for 1/5 of the share. gotta say i love cag and hope this helped lol[/QUOTE]

Thanks you asnwered my question 1, but for #2, I was asking regarding paypal, not the PS store. Can you fund a gift from paypal by a credit card and it still be free from fees? (I heard gifts must be sourced by paypal balance or account transfer, is that true?)
Also, regarding question 3, is it even possible to contest a gift on paypal?

2. I think either or would be fine (not positive). My paypal account is set up that paypal will take the money from my checking account and have credit card as back up. Any fees I think would be your credit card provider's end (some bad debit/credit cards charges user per use).

3. I think its impossible to contest gift...unless its along the lines that you sent it to the wrong person.
Personally, I think there is low risk for doing PayPal gift transaction for small gamesharing. Usually you only pony up < $6, for me I am willing to potentially (unlikely) lose $6 to save $24.

If you fund a gift from paypal with a credit card, YOU pay the fees. If you send money as a gift and you get scammed, you're SOL. As such, sellers can not require you to send money as gifts, and can not charge extra for a payment to cover fees either. If you wanted to be safe, send money as payment for goods or services, which is covered under Paypal's buyer protection. But for most established sellers or traders, it's really not necessary so I just send as gift payments anyways. I only send as payment for goods when it comes to big ticket items and new traders.

Seller also doesn't have to sell to you. The cost of the game is what it is not counting fees. If your going to incur fees for your own safety you better be willing to pay for them yourself.

It's the cost of doing business. CAG specifically states that sellers can not charge extra for Paypal fees. Sure you can refuse, but I bet you the majority of sellers would rather take the small hit in fees than lose a potential customer.

All I'm saying is that you can't be forced to pay the paypal transaction fee. If your seller tries to make you pay extra to cover it, then he's in the wrong and could be suspended or banned from trading on this site.

Gift payments you feel comfortable with (people you've traded with before, people with high feedback or for inexpensive items) and then send as payment for goods when you're not so comfortable (unestablished traders, expensive items, etc.)

No one is forcing anyone. The overhead on $3 gameshares is too low to lose money on fees and gamesharing is t even sanctioned by CAG. They are allowing us to use their boards to do it but you can't leave trader feedback and I don't think they even take part in fees or even scams. You gameshare at your own risk and you do it on your own dime.

LOL I don't understand why you're fighting me on this? My point is not that he should send all his payments as transactions, only that if he chooses to, he can't be forced to pay additional to cover fees, as it violates Paypal policies as well as trading guidelines here on CAG.

He asked if it was possible to contest a gift payment. And the simple answer is no, you cannot. At which point I then proceeded to tell him that he can only be covered under Paypal's Buyer Protection if he sends it as a payment for goods or services.

Did you also conveniently skip over the fact that I told him for most transactions I personally send as gift payments, and only for big ticket items or unestablished traders do I bother with sending as payment for goods or services?

[quote name='TylDurden']If your going to incur fees for your own safety you better be willing to pay for them yourself.[/quote]

What you suggested is not allowed here on CAG. You cannot force the buyer to pay his own fees, (i.e. charge him extra based on fees you will incur) You either accept his payment and take the hit on fees, or you refund it and tell him you are not willing to pay fees for the transaction, and he may either re-send as a gift payment or find a new seller.

Regardless of how you feel on the whole fees situation, there are guidelines and policies you need to adhere to if you plan on trading on CAG or using Paypal as a form of payment. It's not a matter of opinion.
 
I'd like to get a slot in a Prince of Persia trilogy group (all 3 games.) Looks like there were already two groups created and filled. Keep me in mind if another group is started, thanks!

[quote name='TylDurden']I would host but my card is now blocked on new accounts.[/QUOTE]

Could you (or anyone else) please elaborate on this? Will PSN block your credit card if you use it too often to fund different PSN accounts? How about removing it and re-adding it to the same account often?

Looks like I'm hosting the other one, so sorry, looks like you have another slot after all.
 
[quote name='Midguy']When does Pacman DX come out on PSN? Next week?

Anyone want to host a group for that?[/QUOTE]


1. Yes.
2. Can't host, but I definitely want a share of it.


[quote name='Wario64']Just saw this on Neogaf, there's a chance Sony might put an end to gamesharing...

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=413332[/QUOTE]

ahhh neogaf, defending sony/devs from a practice Jack Tretton himself said was OK. The regulars on that board truly are the weirdest group of corporate whores on the planet.

also, this is like the 10th time someone has interpreted the TOS as stopping game sharing. If they ever do stop it, I have a feeling it'll be more obvious somehow. But I think it'll keep going as long as they have an activation slot system, unless it blocks different IPs from using a game simultaneously.

Yeah if you use a credit card on too many accounts it will start to block it on additional accounts. I can still use it on my primary account and both my main gameshare accounts but unable to use it on any other account. I've tried to host a gameshare and buy a game on my friends account and neither of them took it.

I've always been wary of this (just because I'm paranoid, no real reason), which is why if at all possible, I buy from the Amazon PSN store whenever I'm hosting a gameshare. I think I've only actually used my credit card on my PS3 on my main account.
 
Sorry to double post, but anyone at all interested in Mega Man bundle? If not by today I probably close this group.

Out of curiosity, are you sure it wasn't just because many CC had been entered on that account in the last 24h? I know that after 3 different card transactions, you cannot try another new card transaction for 24h in order for it to accept other cards again. Are you sure it wasn't that?

You cannot use the same credit card to purchase on 2 different accounts within a 24 hour period otherwise the card will be locked from all transactions (main account or otherwise) for an unspecified amount of time (it seems to vary). After the time is up, you will be able to use it again on any account. I use the same credit card on all accounts (definitely more than 3) but the above happens pretty much without fail based on my previous experiences.

I've had it locked personally for several weeks. Best bet is to use PSN cards or Amazon if available. I only use credit card as a last resort. Note that it is only locked on the PSN, doesn't block it from being used anywhere else.
 
Anyone interested in gamesharing Hoard? Just saw a few gameplay and reviews. Looks interesting, but not $15 interesting (more like $3). Does anyone have an extra share?
 
Anyone interested in a Pacman DX/Super Stardust group?

[quote name='vonoliveramora']i would be having a psmove later tonight. does the psmove games group still have an open slot? interested. please pm me. also intested in siege, coming out dec.[/QUOTE]
