Using Your Credit Card Through PayPal

IMPORTANT NOTE: YOU DO NOT HAVE TO OPEN A PAYPAL ACCOUNT TO PAY WITH A CREDIT CARD THROUGH PAYPAL.

When you use PayPal you are secure:

  • Privacy. Sellers never see your bank account or credit card number.
  • Identity theft protection. Buyers are covered 100% against unauthorized payments.
  • Fraud prevention. PayPal protects every transaction with industry-leading fraud prevention technology.

    PayPal is a convenient, secure and cost-effective means to allow the use of a credit card to buy items on line. Establishment of a PayPal account while making a credit card payment is now optional. When you use the PayPal buttons you will either access an existing account or have the option of signing up for a PayPal account. You will also have the opportunity to make a one-time payment with a credit card and not be required to establish a PayPal account. It's up to you. If you decide to open an account the process only takes a minute, it's easy and it's free. Some eight million Internet users have already done so and they love it. The only real requirement is that you have an e-mail address. If you decide to establish a PayPal account, remember, it's free, secure, and after you've signed up for PayPal, you'll find that buying practically anything over the Internet is a lot easier than having to re-enter your credit card every time you want to make a purchase, since most sites accept PayPal even if they also accept plastic.
