Paying with PayPal
Our online shopping payment system is powered by PayPal. This enables payments to be made securely either by using an existing PayPal account or by using most major credit or debit cards (without any need for a PayPal account).
When you choose to pay with PayPal, you are choosing one of the safest ways to pay online. As an industry leader in fraud prevention and risk management, PayPal has 60%-70% lower fraud loss rates than other merchant accounts. Not only does PayPal take measures to protect your financial information, they also offer extensive protection against unauthorised payments sent from your account. With PayPal, you typically won't be held liable for payments that you did not approve.
To help you keep track of your account activity, PayPal sends an email confirmation of every account transaction. In the unlikely event of receiving confirmation of a transaction you don’t recognise, PayPal's dedicated customer support team will be there to help you.
PayPal helps to prevent Identity Theft.
With PayPal you can pay without ever sharing financial information with sellers. A unique benefit of paying with PayPal is that merchants like us receive payments without ever seeing your financial or credit/debit card details.
PayPal helps you stay safe when paying by Credit/Debit card:
PayPal's fraud prevention measures remain in effect for buyers whether they are paying using their existing PayPal account or whether they are 'new' buyers who wish to purchase using a credit or debit card. PayPal applies the same security techniques for both methods of payment.
Security Tip!
When you are entering personal information or financial details online, make sure you are on a secure website (look for https:// in the URL - i.e. the beginning of the website's address. The 's' stands for 'secure', by the way, denoting a 'secure server'). Our website uses PayPal's shopping cart system and credit/debit card transaction processing facilities, so you are in the very best hands (a staggering 100 million people use PayPal). You will see https:// in the URL of the payment pages on our site and also the "padlock" on the bottom right hand corner of your screen, both denoting a secure server connection).
Another security Tip!
NEVER click links in emails which you receive perporting to come from financial institutions such as banks, building societies and online merchants such as PayPal. Even if they seem realistic enough, you should always use your web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer or Firefox etc.) to navigate to the site, rather than going to it from links in emails. Always log in manually in private, on a private computer, and make sure you always log out properly and close your browser when you have finished. To recap, PayPal will NEVER ask you to confirm your password in an email so avoid being tricked by such scams - such scam emails are rife, whichever bank, building society, merchant or online service you bank with. Never click email links to such institutions!
