What is PayPal?

About PayPal

We now use PayPal, an easy to use online payment service. With PayPal you can send money instantly, privately, and securely with your credit or debit card.

Founded in March 1999, PayPal provides online payment transmissions integrated with consumer and business financial services. PayPal's Internet-based payment service uses the speed and efficiency of the Internet to enable person-to-person, consumer-to-business, and business-to-business online payments. According to PC Data Online (September 30, 2000), PayPal is the world's first and largest Web-based payment network, with a customer base of nearly 4 million. Today, PayPal users can request payment from or send money to any e-mail user in the U.S. and international users in over 40 countries.

The transaction takes only a few seconds to complete, and PayPal's electronic payment service is completely free. Besides, all transactions are conducted through secure servers, which are protected behind state-of-the-art firewalls. Your financial information, such as credit card and bank account numbers, is kept private. PayPal will not sell, give away, or otherwise disclose information about you to anyone.
