Commentary for Kiddushin 100:7
מאי הוי עלה אמר רב פפא באתרא דמקדשי והדר מסבלי חיישינן מסבלי והדר מקדשי לא חיישינן
But even here, when he has entered the state of kiddushin,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' By actually offering something as such.');"><sup>13</sup></span> I might think that they [the gifts] are kiddushin:<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' For he discovered his error.');"><sup>14</sup></span> hence we are informed [that it is not so].
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
R. Papa mediates between the two opinions. If the custom is to first betroth and then send gifts, the gifts might be a sign that betrothal occurred. But if the opposite, then the gifts are just gifts.
