What is Paypal?
Paypal is the most popular online trading service, which is used for secure transactions on the Internet and undertakes to pay for online stores on your behalf, without requiring your constant intervention at every step. Paypal is owned by eBay Inc., the online shopping giant, and operates in Europe under the supervision of PayPal (Europe) based in Luxembourg. Paypal operates in 190 countries, with over 113 million active users, and can handle 25 different currencies. The money transferred in 2011 by Paypal exceeds 118 billion dollars!
How Paypal works
Paypal acts as your intermediary account for the online stores and services you deal with. The Paypal account created when you subscribe to this is refueled by you with the amount of money you want and only when you decide, using your credit or debit card, as well as your bank account. Using Paypal in a payment or transaction requires the user only to enter the information stated during registration, ie your email & Paypal password. From there, it takes over the transaction without disclosing any of your details (name, credit card, etc.), just as Paypal pays for you!
Security and Paypal
Paypal operating standards are of the highest standard and synonymous with cybersecurity. Paypal transactions are done in a completely secure environment with continuous use of SSL security protocols and AES-256bit encryption. All Paypal pages, from the user’s registration or log in to the simplest confirmation messages, are set up in a secure and encrypted connection environment, and any data transmission is virtually impossible to intercept in real-time.
Paypal, as an intermediary platform for electronic transactions, has mechanisms for monitoring each transaction for several months from their launch. The user, in addition to the secure trading environment, has at his disposal the communication with support staff in case of a problem, the possibility of questioning a charge and a refund.
Advantages of Paypal
Paypal is superior in many respects to most payment and transaction methods, e.g.
Your credit card or bank account information is securely stored on Paypal’s servers and is NOT disclosed to the seller, who only receives the money for your purchase, without ever learning anything else about you.
All Paypal pages are strongly encrypted, without the possibility of your personal or financial information being intercepted.
Paypal constantly selects and evaluates the cooperation with an online store, thus increasing the credibility of the seller.
Using Paypal in your transactions saves you from repeatedly entering your details since all you need to do is log in to your account and press the Checkout button
