For 3 days now I have been getting intermittent error problems trying to access my PayPal account. Today it got worse. I have not been able to access their web site at all.

Accepting Payments Online: Which System To Choose?
 By Vitalij Siromyatnikov
If you are selling goods or services, software or other stuff you need to arrange online payment mechanism for your customers.
Many websites propose free or paid accepting of credit cards. But just think about it! How many fields should be filled up correctly by your customer and how many time it takes to verify his or her credit card before the deal will be done.
Adding your online shop to e-money payment system allows you to accept payments from your customers right at your website and suppose full integration with the shop, which is transparent for a buyer. He/she can make the payment right after submitting a request. All you need is to implement pre-signed up submit form with the noticeable button with caption "Pay now" or something like that. After submitting your customer is automatically transferred to the page, where he/she can choose any payment system in which he/she have an account to close the deal. After that he is transferred directly to the payment system website, where he/she fills up his/her account number and pays.
 Every system has options, when a customer, depending on whether he has successfully paid or not, is transferred to different pages. If the deal is successfully closed, your should provide him with information about all necessary information about it: order number, bought item and delivery. If he refused from paying you may provide some short survey to ask him about the reasons of it.
Notice! A customer is doing his payment via safe SSL data transferring channel provided by the payment system and don't tell his vital information to you. So payment system is responsible for the security of the deal. After that the customer comes back to your site.
