How to make a payment using PayPal

If you're new to Paypal, here's a quick description of what it is.  PayPal is simply another way you can make an online payment. Once you've set your PayPal account up, it makes it really quick and easy to pay for goods or services, or to make a donation, online. 

 

There are basically two ways of using PayPal: you can either use it as a kind of pre-paid credit card where you add money to your PayPal account and then spend it at a location that accepts PayPal payments.

The second way is to link it to either your bank account or credit card and when you make a PayPal payment it comes straight out of your bank or card.  You should still get any cashback offer you have on your credit card.

We assume you already have a personal PayPal account. If you do not, then you will need to set a new account up. Please go to the PayPal website to sign up and then come back here.
