You
no longer need to set up a PayPa account in order to pay using PayPal.
However, establishing an account will save you time if you are to
use PayPal on a frequent basis. Setting up an account takes only
about 2 minutes. You will be asked to enter an email address and
a unique 8-digit password.
There
are three bits of information that it is vital that you remember.
YOUR USER NAME; YOUR PASSWORD
and the CREDIT CARD NUMBER associated with the
USER NAME and PASSWORD. These three pieces of information are linked
together and must all be consistent for PayPal to work. This is
for online security, and prevents a third party setting up their
own user name and password, while using your credit card.
Yes, its
a pain keeping track of all these passwords and names. Please consider
writing them down and keeping them in a safe place.
After
your account is set up, paying through PayPal is fast and efficient.
PayPal will remember who you are your credit card information.
Remember,
PayPal only communicates through this secure link. All communications
from PayPal will require you to log in with your user name and password.
NEVER provide this information in response to an email.
