Everyone please keep in mind that you do not have to have a Paypal account to use a design site's (like Alice's) Paypal checkout. Paypal is also the processor for credit card payments.

My site is a good example too. Paypal processes my checkout but absolutely no one is required to have a Paypal account. This confuses a lot of people because many don't have accounts with Paypal and don't want one. Just use your credit card or bank card at places like my site and Alice's site. Please don't be 'turned off' when you see the Paypal logo. Paypal is just the easiest way for small embroidery businesses to get started on their website.

For many years I was also reluctant to open a Paypal account to pay for things on the web. I finally decided I was making things so hard for myself by not having Paypal that I finally created an account. I was then so aggravated with myself for not having created it long before. It is so easy and I am not constantly getting out my credit card to pay for things. I really like having my credit card information in only one place instead of giving it out to every place I buy from.

My sister had been reluctant too and when she saw I was so pleased with using Paypal she created an account too. She loves using Paypal now and it saves her so much time and is so easy.

Please, Cuties, go ahead and buy from sites using Paypal and if you want to only use your credit card that is OK too. Paypal just process it.

Free designs anywhere that go through the site's cart don't require that you put in any payment information at all. They usually just generate a download link only.

I hope I have made sense. It has concerned me that people are afraid of Paypal. I have been there so I understand completely your reluctance. I have absolutely no relationship with Paypal other than having an account there now.

This happened to me once and it was because I had forgot to click confirm the day before so it had that item still in the cart. Live Laugh Download Stitch!

PayPal is the easiest, quickest and least expensive way to pay for online International purchases.
It costs the buyer nothing to join and nothing to send money from your own savings account, or credit card, if you don't have enough funds in your saving account.
I would not be able to buy anything online without my Paypal account because most goods I buy are from The USA and I am in Australia, so is Alice.
