What is Paypal?
Paypal is an online international bank used by many companies (example: ebay.co.uk ) to allow payments to be sent between customers and businesses. Their interface is very secure and allows payments by debit and credit cards from 190 countries around the world, in any currency. Payment can be sent within minutes and is far more convenient to use than traditional transfers.

Send payments without a Paypal account
Those who don't have a paypal account can still pay online; We send a payment request invoice to your email which has a link to the secure payment section within Paypal where you can pay by debit/credit card (see: Using Paypal ). Those who already have a Paypal account can send payment in the normal way from their online account. It is free to sign up for a personal Paypal account but can take up to 5 days.

Charges
Current personal Paypal account holders can send up to 2 payments per month free. When sending payment by debit/credit card only the usual bank charges apply to the card holder by their own bank. Paypal only charges the person/business receiving the payment, not the cumstomer. View paypal account fees
