Why We Use PayPal
Many of our
customers have asked why we built our site with PayPal as the
only credit card transaction engine. Simply stated, we believe
PayPal has created the safest, easiest-to-use, and most cost effective
platform for businesses and individuals to send and receive money
on the internet. Accordingly, it is our belief that this method
of electronic money exchange will become a widespread phenomenon
over the coming years.
We are also
often asked by new customers to provide assistance with their
registration to PayPal. Since PayPal operates as an independent
third party from this web site, we can not influence or effect
in anyway, the PayPal registration process. Most common questions
that people who have never used PayPal have, are answered at the
PayPal Help Pages: http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_help-ext
If you wish
to purchase an item listed for sale on this web site and do not
want to use PayPal, or are having difficulty registering, the
item can be ordered by e-mail, regular mail, telephone (1-757-229-7650)
or picked up locally in Williamsburg, VA. and paid for by cashiers
check, money order or credit card in person.
