About Paypal
Company Profile
Founded in 1998, PayPal, an eBay Company, enables any individual or business with an email address to securely, easily and quickly send and receive payments online. PayPal's service builds on the existing financial infrastructure of bank accounts and credit cards and utilizes the world's most advanced proprietary fraud prevention systems to create a safe, global, real-time payment solution.
PayPal has quickly become a global leader in online payment solutions with 40 million account members worldwide. Available in 38 countries around the world, buyers and sellers on eBay, online retailers, online businesses, as well as traditional offline businesses are transacting with PayPal.
PayPal has received close to 20 awards for technical excellence from the Internet industry and the business community at large -most recently the 2003 Webby Award for Best Finance Site and the 2003 Webby People's Voice Award for Best Finance Site.
Located in San Jose, California, PayPal was acquired by eBay Inc. in October, 2002.
Paying Through Paypal
Previously, PayPal users were required to create a PayPal account to complete a purchase, but when making a straight forward donation, contributors will go through an alternate checkout, and will have the option to sign up afterwards. Contributors who already have PayPal accounts will continue to enjoy the privileges of those accounts, such as payment history and integration with eBay Auctions, and their checkout experience will remain the same.
Contributors who are subscribing to recurring payments will have to set up an account first.
After finishing the payment process on E-bay, contributors will be sent a confirmation email and will also be returned to the ADF website.
