If you're buying something and the seller asks you to send the money as a gift, DON'T DO IT! Gift transfers are not reversible if the item never arrives or is not as advertised. It's like sending money via wire transfer. Once your money is gone, it's gone for good. There are no ebay transaction details attached to the transfer of funds like there would be if you had paid for the item normally so you can't prove you actually bought anything from the seller.
