PayPal enables any business or consumer with an email address to securely, conveniently, and cost-effectively send and receive payments online.

They are the leading payment network for online auction websites, including eBay. PayPal is also being increasingly used at other e-commerce sites, for the sale of goods such as electronics and household items, the sale of services such as web design and travel, and the sale of digital content. Offline businesses, including lawyers, contractors and physicians, have increasingly begun to receive payments online through PayPal. PayPal's service, which lets users send payments for free, can be used from PCs or Web-enabled mobile phones.

PayPal uses the 128 bit encryption standard on their secure web servers. This is the highest level of security available, so you can rest assured that your information will remain private.

When you move to the payment form, PayPal will ask you for standard billing information, an email address that will be used as your account identification, and a password to access your account. It's that easy.

Once created, you can use your account to make payments at any merchant accepting PayPal payments, or you can use your account to send or receive money to and from anyone with an email address. Great if you have kids in college.

PayPal is a privately held company headquartered in Palo Alto, California. PayPal was a Webby Award nominee in both 2000 and 2001, and was named a Forbes Favorite Website in the magazine’s May 2001 "Best of the Web" issue.
