*****PAYPAL PAYMENTS NOW AVAILABLE*****

[Slackworth]

We are pleased to announce we are now accepting PayPal as a method of payment as part of our continuing effort to make it as convenient as possible for you to purchase from us.

Paypal accepts Visa, Visa Electron, Mastercard, Maestro, American Express, Solo and you can also link Paypal directly to your bank account to make payments.

To take advantage of paying via PayPal simply click "Check out with PayPal" on the basket screen. You will then be directed to the PayPal website to enter your details securely before being directed back to OcUK to complete your order.

PayPal makes it easier to buy from OcUK, as you don’t need to re-enter your card details every time you make a purchase. An extremely safe way of making payment, PayPal uses cutting-edge data encryption, fraud detection tools and all kinds of other advanced techniques to ensure your security.

[Biohazard]

Scammers delight!



Anyway, I thought you didn't have to get your card out each time? Ie your OcUK account already holds those details?

hmm so now anything sent via royal mail will never arrive, and paypal will automatically take the buyers side as so many complaints will arrive in at once form everyone looking free stuff

does the company (OCUK) lose out more on ccard or on paypal for payments accepted? i think ccards cost a company around 3.5% depending on the bank they use, is paypal more or less than this?

Personally, I'm opposed to the Vatican's national bank.

lol.

Also agreed with the Gaypal comment. It does seem to be taking over many websites

I don't see any benefit myself. Is there one?

Just makes it more accessible to more people really.

Opens up to impulse purchases from people who may have say £100, lurking in a PayPal account from a MM sale - makes it easier for that money to go to OcUK rather than another MM user. That's one example that I can imagine will bring in a decent amount of money.

Paypal's been a suggestion here for years now but it was never taken on board. Why the change?

Do other companies not have to go through the dreaded 'Paypal dispute' or is that just eBay users?
