Online Payments

Please Read Carefully Before Making Any Purchases.

The Advanced Supply Chain Institute uses PayPal, a company that has already performed millions of secure transactions for other organizations to process payments.

PayPal is a money transfer system that was originally launched for C2C (customer-to-customer) transactions, but recently, X.com, the company behind the service, introduced B2C transactions, by offering accounts for businesses. PayPal is considered as the global leader in online payment solutions with 100+ million account members worldwide. Available in 50+ countries around the world, buyers and sellers on eBay, online retailers, online businesses, as well as traditional offline businesses are transacting with PayPal.

PayPal is an efficient way to send a payment for auction items (PayPal is an eBay company) and purchases from web sites like this. Online payments are far less time consuming than going to the ATM or writing and posting paper checks. And unlike checks, which can take days to clear, most PayPal transactions clear instantly. It's always free to send money, you receive your items faster, and it's secure and private.

With the fast growing PayPal community, most auctioneers and web site operators are beginning to accept PayPal as one of their payment methods. Some consider PayPal as their prime and only way to collect payments from buyers. However, to use PayPal services, most new users must not only register but also confirm with PayPal - to confirm means to take the PayPal PIN from his/her credit card statement and go back to the PayPal site with it to finish the registration process. Therefore, if you are a buyer not already a PayPal member, you may have to wait a week or so before you can use PayPal to pay your seller (the merchant). This is not a good news to merchants/sellers, as we all know what customers do if they can't buy what they want now.

Payers/buyers who are new to PayPal will no longer be required to create a PayPal account to complete a purchase - they will go through an alternative checkout and will have the option to sign up afterwards. Customers who already have PayPal accounts will continue to enjoy the service and their checkout experience will remain the same.

Due to their popularity, you may receive spoof emails pretending they are from PayPal customer service, trying to steal your PayPal account information.
