New and renewing members may now pay online with PayPal

April 25, 2001

The Association has now opened an account with PayPal so that new and renewing members can pay their dues online. scbbqa uses PayPal so that dues can be paid online by members in a fast, easy and secure way. Those who sign up for PayPal will also be able to make and receive payments online from other PayPal members.

Background

PayPal is quickly becoming the most commonly used method to pay and to receive payments on the Internet. It is the safest way to send and receive money on the Internet and is the most popular method at major sites like eBay.

Those with a PayPal account can send money to anyone who has an email address (even if they are not already PayPal members), and those with an account can receive money from anyone or any group. This makes it an ideal solution for smaller organizations, like scbbqa, since it does not have to open a special merchant account and process credit and debit card payments. It is also ideal for those who buy or sell through online auctions, since payment is guaranteed.

PayPal now has seven million customers, and it's growing. For more information, visit the PayPal website here.

Receive $5.00 for signing up

Everyone who opens a new PayPal account will receive $5.00 just for signing up. This $5.00 credit can be used for any purpose or cashed.

The Association will receive $5.00 too

There is no need to use PayPal immediately to make a payment. So cbbqa asks all its members to sign up now for PayPal, even if dues are not yet due. It is fast, simple and secure -- please click on the PayPal icon here:
