An ebay company, Paypal is a US-based on-line transaction service provider with 35 million account members worldwide.
In 2003, PayPal launched PayPal UK, its first international website and
service designed exclusively for users in the United Kingdom.
The same year PayPal established its new European headquarter in Dublin,
providing customer service, fraud prevention and operational support for members
in the UK and other European countries. Since then, PayPal has also launched websites in Austria, Germany, Netherlands and Switzerland.
maximum confidentiality and security
By using Paypal, you are not required to provide
paraphernalia™ your bank account details or credit card information.
To ensure that your information is handled with complete confidentiality
and maximum security, PayPal automatically encrypts your confidential information in
transit from your computer to theirs using the Secure Sockets Layer protocol (SSL)
with an encryption key length of 128-bits (the highest level commercially available).
Paypal accepts credit cards and bank transfers
PayPal accepts credit card payments
(Visa, Master, Discover and American Express)
from 45 countries worldwide. It also accepts direct bank transfers from holders of US bank account,
as well as accounts from Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden,
Switzerland and Canada via its "add funds" function.
PayPal service is free for the buyer
Note that the transaction service provided by PayPal is
free for the buyer, free to register and free to use.
As a seller, paraphernalia™ bears a small fee
for this service on each successful transaction.
order proceeds once payment is approved
Once an attempt has been made to debit payment from your credit card,
PayPal sends out two emails to inform the success or failure of the transaction.
One goes to you (the buyer), one goes to paraphernalia™ (the seller).
Once your transaction is approved, we will immediately process your order.
When your order is dispatched,
paraphernalia™ will send you an email confirming the shipment date and
the tracking number. Please print out and safeguard both the transaction confirmation email
from PayPal as well as the shipment confirmation email from paraphernalia™
as these are effectively your purchase invoices.
