You can't put it ("send as a gift") in your description, BUT during the actual inquiry/transaction, that's completely up to the buyer....
Me personally, I've been here since day 1...most people don't have an issue with me requesting it since they know I'm not going anywhere, but for somebody who JUST has 300 posts and signed up a few months ago, then yeah...I'd never send it as a "gift". NT has had it's fair share of scamming, but IMO, a lot of that could've been prevented.
If I sell an item on here, which I've already included the PayPal fees & shipping into the initial cost, and you shoot me an offer of $50 LOWER than what I wanted, then "gift" it is....if not, add the extra funds into the cost. I never put "OBO" or "accepting offers", and amazingly...I still get them. If you want me to work with you, then you need to work with me as well
