You should use hot glue. Super glue gets hard and cracks...night affect the rod. JMO.
Anyway, I stopped sending gifted money through paypal. I think the seller should just take the hit, it's not even that much. I sent $118, $3 whole dollars to cover a fee. smh!
I never ask for gift through paypal. I take the hit or the buyer can decide to gift, then again I'm not a scammer so either way works for me.
