My wife and I are in a financial bind. My friend is willing to loan us money. Obviously not through a bank. My friend will gift us the money as a gift (of course we are paying it back) into our bank account. My question is does anyone know how much of a gift I can receive withouth having to pay taxes on it? We live in CA if that makes any difference.
S5tevo, thanks for the link and info.

I just received an ebay gift certificate from someone in my email and it says I have to pay with paypal and when I check out after I buy an item on ebay, I can enter my gift certificate through paypal and then pay but I don’t see an option. How do I use my ebay gift certificate through paypal to pay? Please help since I’ve already bid and won something and need to pay soon!
