In the beginning the future of PayPal as a player in payment systems was dubious, but its concept has become so widely accepted and extensively used that over 64 million people in 45 countries have accounts.
Today it is probably the easiest and fastest way for a new internet business to offer its customers payment systems which are reliable, fast and affordable.
For the merchant it is almost as easy to set up an account as it is for a customer. The basic requirements are simple and should be easily met by anyone who has a major credit card.
Signing up to be able to receive money is free and fast. There are no monthly fees to pay and no minimum monthly activity required to keep an account active.
When you receive payments, you are charged a trasaction fee, which is based on the the amount of the transaction and the volume of payments you receive on a monthly basis. For a US dollar account, the most expensive payment you would receive would be charged $US 0.30 plus 2.9% of the value received. As your volume increases, the percentage you're charged drops. Various currencies are available for payment or receipts.
Did you know that over 58,000 people sign up for PayPal every day?
If you don't already have a PayPal Premier or Business account you can
add PayPal to your payment systems and start accepting credit card payments instantly.
