    It's a way to avoid paying a PayPal fee. If the payment is made to pay for an item, PayPal collects a fee. If the payment is a "personal" money transfer, PayPal does it for free, so the seller saves some money.

    When you choose to send money, the personal tab will be presented as an option you may choose to use. It works just like Utopian describes

    Ahhh oooh!
    Nice well this makes things more interesting. Well, I'll do some research then so I can use the Personal money transfer. This is a complete new way to buy for me since, so far, I have bought all my items on Amazon.com

    I'll contact the selled and ask him some futher information
    Thanx for the quick answer
    :Edit:
    I just saw the image... so easy haha. d(^_^d)

    Keep in mind that, if you use the personal tab, you will have no recourse if the deal goes south.

    I think you've got the right idea. Buying a razor from a new member might be a risk, but you can assume that a well established member is not going to trash his reputation by ripping someone off.

    That's probably true, but there's always a risk. There's a very interesting thread over at B&B about a member with a great reputation who did a lot of business and then, suddenly, left a lot of people in the lurch.

    Been following that one. It's a shame what happened. Still.. I trust the guys I buy/bought from HERE. Stand-up characters. Multiple purchases from a few guys, too, and I'd recommend them to anybody -- Sham, GW, RayG, among others -- bought from all of them at least twice and I'd go again.

    Ask questions if you're not sure about something.

    Good luck!

    Thanx a lot for this great feedback
    The only issue right now is... which one to pick up!!
    the 3 I have in mind are (in my opinion) Beautiful and I can't make up my mind haha.
    I don't want to link them here but if someone can lend me a hand it would be great n_n
    Right now my solution is to make a software to randomly choose one of them :P for me

    thanx guys
