PaylPal offers our customer three ways of purchasing our products.  By logging into (or creating a PayPal account) you will be able to purchase by way of:

1. Standard Credit Card                                      
2. Your Personal PayPal Bank Account               
3. Finance Through Bill Met Later                                                             

The PayPal site is highly secure. PayPal uses industry-leading technology (such as SSL) to keep your information safe.

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). Before you even register or log in to the PayPal site, PayPal’s server checks that you're using an approved browser - one that uses SSL 3.0 or higher.

Once your information reaches the PayPal site, it resides on a server that is heavily guarded both physically and electronically. PayPal servers sit behind an electronic firewall and are not directly connected to the internet, so your private information is available only to authorized computers.

• Privacy
  PayPal is committed to protecting the privacy of our users. When you send or request money using PayPal, recipients never see your bank account numbers or credit card numbers.
