PayPal is the third-party credit card processing service used by Alpa-Bits & Pieces orders paid by credit card. It is very secure to use. This information was taken from PayPal's website to provide more information:..
PayPal automatically encrypts your confidential information in transit from your computer to their's using the Secure Sockets Layer Protocol (SSL) with an encryption key length of 128-bits (the highest level commercially available). Before you even register or log into the PayPal site, their server checks that you're using an approved browser - one that uses SSL 3.0 or higher.
Once your information reaches PayPal, it resides on a server that is heavily guarded both physically and electronically. PayPal's servers sit behind an electronic firewall and are not directly connected to the Internet, so your private information is available only to authorised computers.
If you would like any more information, please visit the PayPal website.
