We recently changed our payment options for DryUV and Dry, Inc so that you could pay by PayPal. We have not promoted it much but it does seem that about 20% of the orders now are paid for with PayPal instead of a credit card. So I am wondering, how many of you here on SA buy Christmas/ Gift stuff with PayPal instead of a regular credit card or cash?

Card or a direct depsit from account called EFTPOS here.
Card or transfers with Swiftcode for international stuff Only use Pay Pal if there appears to be no other option available (get plenty of spam emails about Pay Pal accounts that I delete) |

One reason why many use PayPal is because of convenience...
If there is a PayPal button in the website, customers can just click on that and go thru the checkout process quickly. Since the mailing address, billing address, etc is already included in PayPal, there are no real need to bother trying to remember the username/password of every single website. Or bother typing in the address again and again for every single new website. You only need to remember the username and password for PayPal, that's it. 35% of my business is PayPal and I suspect the time savings & convenience PayPal gives customers is the real reason why its popular. I've just about hit my limit of how many usernames/passwords I can remember so I really appreciate this feature about PayPal... |

It is so much faster and easier that as you noted "Remembering which password goes with what site". Thanks for all of the feedback. Many thanks too for the recent orders! |
