This is a shame, you really shouldnt be afraid to trade on oople, as you say, there is only a very small minority that are trying to spoil it. And if you protect yourself, then it doesn't matter if they try and fleece you as paypal will always side with the buyer.
I normally use gift, but have no issues with paying the fee if I don't know the person or they're new to the forum. Just makes sense.
