PayPal lets you make secure payments in 24 major currencies around the world, which is probably why there are more than 3 million active PayPal accounts in Australia, and the number is rising. So, what can PayPal do for you?
- Buying with PayPal is simple, fast and safe:
PayPal does not share your personal information with the seller.
- PayPal Buyer Protection protects you:
PayPal can protect your eligible purchases up to the amount of AUD $20,000.
- PayPal is FREE for purchases within Australia:
There's no charge for purchases in Australian dollars, made between Australian PayPal accounts.
- Checking out is easy:
PayPal is the only payment option integrated directly into the checkout process on eBay.com.au.
Once you've decided to start buying with PayPal and you've added your cards and bank account, you're ready to get going. Here are some screen-grabs so you can make sure you're on the right track when you buy something.
- Choose your item and make sure PayPal and buyer protection are available.
- Select PayPal and pay for your item with just a couple of clicks.
- Complete the checkout process and wait for the postman to deliver your purchase!
If you intend to pay when you pick up an item in person, it's better if you pay in cash or with a bank cheque once you've met the seller and inspected the item. Remember that PayPal Buyer Protection is not available for items that you pick up or any other time when PayPal is not used.
