im gunna request that they send as gift so i cant get charged back, i dont want to get scammed!
If they claim they did not make the transaction then even a gift can be reversed.
if you did make the transaction, then this is technically fraud. So, if the person that received the gift has some record of you claiming to send the transaction, Paypal could shut down your account.
I don't know if it ever happens like that, but it is something to consider.
