Gift payment is much, much safer for the seller. I try to make all my transactions gifts. Since I can't gift from a Singapore account I sometimes sell something and tell the buyer to gift the guy who is selling me stuff instead.
Something else I've experienced, is that fees are not always what they seem. USA accounts should all be ok, but when it is a non-USD account and another non-USD account in another country, sometimes additional currency and transaction fees are deducted. I get the impression that paypal hasn't set up smoothly functioning agreements with every single credit and debit card provider in the world. One time I ended up unexpectedly paying 9% in fees as the seller (actually it was over 20% because of the fixed $0.45 charge on a small payment of a few bucks). So I am quite rightly allergic to goods payments.
That said, I have been around quite a bit and have (hopefully) racked up good karma by helping people and making many successful transactions. You're still relatively unknown, so I won't recommend that people make gift payment to you. In any case I have nothing expensive to sell and most people should know that if they peruse my posts, whereas if you're selling a $800 keyboard it is not sensible for anyone to trust you with a gift payment.
