Advice: Should I report this?

[totschrei.livejournal.com]

Recently I was bidding and won a part in a YCH auction.
I had every intent to pay until the artist requested I send the money as a Gift because of the fees. Even after I explained to them that it is against the TOS of paypal to send as gift as well ask the customer to cover the fees they still request users to cover the fees.

Conversation in Notes (I have blocked out their paypal as well their username for now):

I am just curious if I should report this to Paypal that they continue to ask people to send as gift/cover the fees or report it to admins of FA or even submit an Artist_beware about them? But since the transaction never went through I wouldn't think a post would be able to be posted.

What advice can I get? :\

I wouldn't report it, no. But I also would make sure and not do business with them either. I would break off the agreement and let them know that you are uncomfortable that they ask for the fees and should include them in the final price next time.

Some artists simply don't understand it's against Paypals rules, and that paypal is a service that deserves those fees to continue operating.

As theres no transaction, I don't think this is very fit for a beware, just an avoidance of your cash.
