'Be Connected' in May- 'Pay Pal' mirroring Jenny's phone

30/5/2022

In May we continued the theme of buying online. In the Be Connected Topic Library we viewed ‘How to Pay Online’.

The main focus was using PayPal. There is an informative video explaining setting up a PayPal account.

PayPal is now an option on some service providers eg. Telstra bills for payment. So, I demonstrated a real payment to Telstra using PayPal.

Some advantages of using PayPal online are that -
~. A PayPal password is a lot easier to type in than your credit card details.
~ You receive a payment receipt almost straight away via email.

I did receive my new iPad cover which I purchased in class through eBay in April using PayPal.
