Paying with PayPal

Our online shopping cart system is powered by PayPal. This enables payments to be made securely either by using an existing PayPal account or by using most major credit or debit cards (without any need for a PayPal account). When you choose to pay with PayPal, you are choosing one of the safest ways to pay online. PayPal has quickly become a global leader in online payment solutions with 56 million account members worldwide. Available in 45 countries around the world, buyers and sellers on eBay, online retailers, online businesses, as well as traditional offline businesses are transacting with PayPal. PayPal has received close to 20 awards for technical excellence from the Internet industry and the business community at large. As an industry leader in fraud prevention and risk management, PayPal has 60%-70% lower fraud loss rates than other merchant accounts. Not only does PayPal take measures to protect your financial information, they also offer extensive protection against unauthorised payments sent from your account. With PayPal, you typically won't be held liable for payments that you did not approve. To help you keep track of your account activity, PayPal sends an email confirmation of every account transaction. In the unlikely event of receiving confirmation of a transaction you don’t recognise, PayPal's dedicated customer support team will be there to help you.

PayPal helps to prevent Identity Theft. With PayPal you can pay without ever sharing financial information with sellers. A unique benefit of paying with PayPal is that merchants like us receive payments without ever seeing your financial or credit/debit card details.

PayPal helps you stay safe when paying by Credit/Debit card: PayPal's fraud prevention measures remain in effect for buyers whether they are paying using their existing PayPal account or whether they wish to purchase using a credit or debit card. PayPal applies the same security techniques for both methods of payment.

Very occasionally, you may receive a 'Timeout' message when inputting credit card details into secure pages. For your security, the PayPal system is designed to drop your connection, or 'time out', after five minutes of inactivity If the system is timing out in less than five minutes, it may be due to a loss of secure connection, which is usually caused by net congestion When high net congestion occurs, secure server based web sites are affected the most. If the problem persists, please reset your Internet connection or try accessing the PayPal site at a later time In addition, if you do not clear your cache files periodically, you may experience longer loading or browser closing times. In order to improve your performance on the web and specifically while visiting the PayPal site, we suggest that you occasionally clear your cache.
