To avoid this, ideally the admin should set concrete rules of either product w/ forum name on a piece of paper, or prohibit all sales with a "PayPal gift" option. All sales should be via normal PayPal or otherwise verified method of payment, to avoid these types of situations.
Yes, scammers will still try to game the system. However, by using a normal PayPal method of payment for a product, you as a buyer will be protected, and so will the seller.

This is a great idea. This is one of the trading rules over at msf.org (Mazdaspeed forum).
When the scammer was keep on insisting that I have to send him as a gift, I actually wanted to show him that gifting is not allowed on FT86 thinking it would be under the trading rules.
Surprisingly it wasn't in the rule book.
