ABOUT PAYPAL PayPal is a widely recognized and respected independent third party company, based in the United States, that specializes in processing online credit card transactions. PayPal is the largest and most online payment processor on the Internet with over 15 millions users. PayPal was purchased and is currently owned by eBay.   PayPal allows anyone with a major credit card or a debit card with a Visa or MasterCard logo to purchase online securely and safely. Many people are hesitant to provide credit card information over the Internet. PayPal provides a secure server (SSL) so your transaction is safe, but moreover, when you make a purchase through a PayPal merchant, you have additional security because only PayPal, not the merchant, is provided with your credit card information.   Buyer Protection Guarantee: Purchases made through the PayPal service are protected against fraud when you purchase goods from a Verified Seller and do not receive the promised goods. You are entitled to a refund if you do not receive what you ordered from a Verified Seller. Buyers are protected up to a total of $5,000 per year for fraudulent transactions.   If you do not have an account with PayPal, you will need to create an account before you can pay for your order with a credit or debit card. It won't cost you anything to sign up or to send money.   If you would like to know more about PayPal, you may visit their webpage at http://www.paypal.com.
