What is Paypal?

Paypal is a charge card processing solution for small concerns and individuals, allowing them to accept charge cards and ATM card payments over the internet.  Traditional merchant accounts aren't cost effective for a (tiny) business like my sports photography sales, and I would be forced to accept only orders by mail if there was no alternative.  Paypal provides that alternative - a secure charge card processing service designed for small businesses and individuals.  There is no fee for you to send payments.

I've used Paypal for over two years, and I've never had an issue with the service.  If you'd like to read more about Paypal, follow this link to their site.  Paying by personal check and mailing your order is fine with me as well, and to be honest, I prefer it.  Paypal charges me 3 percent to process charges, and I provide it strictly as a service to you.  I won't delay mailed orders for check clearance.
