NORAC members can pay their annual dues or make donations using two different methods.

1) The old reliable Canada Post with a Cheque, or

2) On the Internet using your PayPal account or a Credit Card.

 

Q: What is PayPal?

A: PayPal is a service that accepts Credit Card transactions on behalf of sellers and buyers.

If you are a seller, you can easily accept payments by allowing PayPal to be your online shopping cart. They take care of security and provide a system that's easy to implement into your existing online store or website.

Buyers are protected by PayPal in many ways. You essentially use them as a middle man when dealing with an online vendor whom you may have some worries about trusting? For example instead of giving your credit card info to a random stranger on eBay, you can have a large reputable vendor like PayPal act as the middle man. With PayPal in the middle, the person on the other end get's paid, but they don't get your payment information like credit card numbers etc. 

 

Q: Do I need a PayPal account?

A: No, you can use PayPal without an account, these types of transactions are all treated by PayPal as single credit card transactions.

 

Q:What do I get from a PayPal account?

A: With a free PayPal account you can use PayPal quicker since your key information like credit card numbers, addresses, etc are stored in your account for easy access. You can also link your account to a bank account instead of just a credit card. With an account you get transaction history, additional protection, etc.
