While using credit card gives customers convenience as well as an extra layer of security, it adds to our costs. Since our service fee is extremely low and it only accounts for a small portion of the money we collect (the majority goes to the consulate and shipping), we are unable to absorb the cost of credit card transaction.

Is the transaction secure?

We use PayPal or Google Checkout to handle credit card payments, depending on your chioce. These two methods are the most widely used and are proven to be secure. During the process, you submit information through a secure channel to either Paypal or Google site and our web site will not see your information.

How to make a credit card payment?

When you press the "Credit Card Pay" or "Google Checkout" button, you will be presented with a PayPal or Google Checkout page that has the following information displayed:

	Payment to: 		YWPW Services
	Payment for: 		(your user ID, e.g. XYZ123456) 
	Total Amount: 		$1.00 

For Google Checkout, you will be presented with similar options for credit card information or Google Checkout login. However, if you do not have a Google Checkout account, you will be asked to create a new account. Again you have the option to cancel at any time.

Please note: if your PayPal or Google Checkout account is linked to a bank account instead of a credit card, you still need to pay the transaction charge.
