The PayPal system, which has become popular in Russia, simplifies operations with bank cards. In certain cases, you must include a PayPal account. The card allows you to link the payment system to Aliexpress, making the account available for secure online purchases.
Before using a PayPal account to shop on Aliexpress, it is important to carefully consider the benefits of paying through the service offered. The electronic payment system provides an opportunity for convenient cooperation with foreign partners for Russian firms. The sender does not have to pay a commission as the percentage is paid by the buyer.
What is a PayPal account for?
A payment service operating in more than 200 countries of the world community is essential for online purchases. PayPal provides transactions in 24 national currencies. Creating an account on this site allows you to pay for purchases not only on Aliexpress, but also in other trading systems, for example, eBay, which is the world's largest online store.
The account in the payment electronic system must be previously confirmed. At the same time, there is no need to send documents for identification, which may sometimes be required to increase the limits or when restoring a hacked account. You can verify your identity on the basis of the linked card and the availability of access to the personal account of the mobile bank.
The changes that have taken place in the Aliexpress shopping service are related to the replacement of PayPal with other payment systems that work with the lowest commission and are more secure. An account in a previously used electronic service may be needed by a buyer who wants to make a refund from the trading platform. Online store accounts and payment systems must be linked.
How to find your PayPal account on Aliexpress
A client authorized in the services in question must know his account for a refund. Full use of an electronic system account involves 3 mandatory steps:
- Registration with PayPal.
- Follow the link sent in the email.
- Linking a bank card to a payment service.
Linking a card to an account increases the security of payments and protects against fraud. The procedure is beneficial in that the payment does not require the entry of payment data:
- card numbers;
- name and surname of the owner;
- validity period of the card;
- security code.
A list of linked cards should appear in your personal account. It does not need to be logged in if the sender asks for a PayPal account for a refund. A seller from Aliexpress should only send a login from a PayPal account, which denotes the customer's account. You can clarify these data, if necessary, in your e-mail, i.e. in a letter sent by the payment system.
Conclusion
When buying goods in online stores or online auctions, it is important to have an account in the payment system. Linking a card in it eliminates the need to enter payment details every time, which can be stolen by fraudsters. If the goods purchased on Aliexpress are found to be defective, you will need to know your PayPal account, since payment is made automatically through your account in this service.
