You can't fund gift payments with credit cards. They have to be sourced through bank accts. or paypal balances. That being said you have no recourse should you get screwed by sending a payment as a gift.

That is absolutely not true at all. I have done this as recently as several weeks ago. I have used a credit card through paypal to fund a gift payment. In this case it was to a charitable organization but it can be done.

Ok. That is what I meant. When most refer to gift payments it is usually a way to make payments to avoid paypal fees. So to clarify, you still can't use your credit card to fund a gift payment if you are looking to avoid any kind of fees.
