You can be absolutely sure that your personal information and credit card information is protected in the highest way possible and will never be shared with anyone. It is a completely free service to purchasers. With PayPal, you can buy products and services very easily, and use all types of credit cards, checks, or a direct debit from a savings account or checking account. It's free, and is a way to protect your account information. PayPal then informs the merchant that you paid for the product or service, and the product is shipped.
Merchants pay an amount similar to the costs associated with processing credit cards.
That's why PayPal is free to buyers. Personally, I think it is a wonderful service and is a way to safeguard your credit card information, since only PayPal has the credit card number and not the merchant. It also allows people without credit cards to make purchases on the internet in a secure manner. All order information is only on one computer at our place of business, and only 2 people have access to this information. We will not share, give, or sell any customer information, ever.
