High level of security with Paypal

     For your security Back to home page  

All existing PayPal users will be asked to enter their assigned Paypal password as usual. All non-PayPal members will be required to enter their contact details and create a new PayPal account with a new password. This takes only a few minutes, and is for your added security and easy of use for future purchases, when you will just need to type in your Paypal password.

Paypal provides a pre-defined link from our web site to their secure payment server.  

Paypal first checks card number format, expiry date and the issue date/start date, then securely carries-out authorisation through a connection with the acquiring banks.

When a payment is authorised, we then send a confirmation e-Mail of your order with the details of the order.
