PayPal
PayPal Coming Soon
Gamestation will soon accept PayPal as a valid method of paying for products purchased online – but what exactly is PayPal and why would you want to use it? Let's walk you through it…
What it is?
PayPal is an online account that is mostly used to purchase items online without the hassle of having to enter your card details… address… security code… etc. Each and every time you want to buy something – you just hit the 'Pay with PayPal' button, log in to your PayPal account and let PayPal do the rest for you. Simple!
PayPal can also be used to transfer money to other people's personal accounts without the bother of logging into your online banking to do a balance transfer – so it's a great way to pay your rent, pay your mates back for cab fair, or give a cash birthday gift, for example.
How it's used?
A little bit like an Xbox Live/PlayStation Network account, you can deposit cash into your PayPal account and use it to make purchases, or withdraw these funds to the bank account linked to your personal PayPal account. (Other people can also make deposits into your PayPal account, which is why PayPal is so popular on eBay.)
Unlike Xbox and PlayStation accounts though, if your PayPal account is empty then you can still pay using PayPal, which will take the funds directly from your linked bank account/card(s) instead.
