PayPal enables anyone with an email address to send online payments.  As a buyer you can pay for your items using your nominated bank account, credit card or PayPal balance.

One of the most effective ways to protect yourself from identity theft is to keep your financial information private.  PayPal enables you to pay without sharing your financial information with sellers.  Not only do PayPal help keep your financial information private, they guarantee 100% protection against unauthorised payments sent from your account. 

As a fraud-prevention measure, they will send an email confirmation for every online payment that you make with PayPal. If you receive email confirmation of a transaction that you did not approve, contact PayPal and they will quickly resolve the issue. You will not be responsible for the charges.

So if you’re after a safer, hassle-free way to pay for online purchases, PayPal is something you should consider. See  www.paypal.com.au for further information.
