PayPal Lite

(technically called Paypal Account Optional)

This is a means of making electronic transfers to the Exakta Circle (or indeed to any other PayPal merchant) without having a PayPal account. You can use the system to pay your subscription, or, as here, your pre-booking deposit for Oxford. You must have an e-mail address and a credit or debit card.

First, click on the appropriate PayPal button for the amount you wish to send. This leads you in to a page on the PayPal website headed "Pay with credit card or Log In." If you have a PayPal account, log in there and proceed as normal. If you don't, proceed as follows.

At the bottom of the left-hand column of this page is a line reading "Use your credit card or bank account if available Continue". Click on the word "Continue." This takes you to a page where you fill in your personal and credit card details. The top line of this page tells you what you have chosen to buy--you can't use this system to send any other amount, because you started from a particular button specifying a particular amount. Click on the Continue button at the foot of the page.

On the next page, click on the Pay Now button, which allows PayPal to debit your credit card and credit the Exakta Circle, and then click on "Return to merchant." This takes you to a thank-you page back in our own website, from which you can return to the main Oxford page.

PayPal have an auxiliary page on which they make three vital points:

  • This is a one-off payment.

  • You can only use this method 10 times. After that you will have to open a PayPal account.

  • Your money is treated with the same level of security as any other payPal transaction, but they do not guarantee to help if you quarrel with the Exakta Circle

They also tell you that your credit card statement will show PayPal as the merchant you have credited instead of Exakta Circle, but this doesn't appear to be true.
