Frankly we are puzzled by some car show entrants that don’t pre-enter online because “they don’t trust PayPal”.

Firstly we mainly use them to process your credit card just like any other merchant processor. If you have a PayPal account you can make your payment through your account. But you don’t need an account to use your credit card. Just click on “Use Debit or Credit Card” when you are transferred to the PayPal site. Their site is fully secured by the latest SSL encryption.

Using PayPal may be even safer than using a check or your credit card or bank account to make a purchase.

With PayPal, your financial data is stored away in a single online “vault”, whereas the same can’t be said when transmitting credit card or bank data online on the internet. Also, paper checks can easily be compromised by fraudsters – all they need is a bank account or routing number to crack into a buyer’s account and cause serious financial damage.

PayPal offers buyers “payback” protection if their payments are made, and they don’t receive the merchandise they ordered – giving buyers some peace of mind that they’re money transmittal on PayPal is covered. But please don’t try to refuse payment because it rained during one of our shows. We can offer enough proof that you were aware of our policy of holding our shows RAIN or SHINE. We have won every case where someone tried this.

PayPal buyers should also add their own level of data security by always keeping their data security software updated on all of their digital devices and not using public Wi-Fi to make purchases, as it’s easier for data hackers to breach than a secure and private Wi-Fi connection.

We use PayPal and have been a satisfied PayPal customer for about twenty years. After accepting thousands of registrations with PayPal we can report that we have never had a bad experience with the company. Every transaction has worked correctly and immediately. Sadly, we cannot say the same for other credit card processors we used before switching to PayPal.

PayPal’s security has proven to be top-notch for years and the company is now respected as a highly secure payment processor. Millions of people trust PayPal to handle online transactions. PayPal safely and securely processed around $350 billion (U.S.) in transactions for its clients in 2018.

Using Paypal to pay for online purchases is a great way to protect your credit card or debit card from fraudulent charges. When you pay with PayPal, the merchant (that’s us) never sees your credit card or its number. Without that number, a merchant cannot “rip off” your card. Some other payment processors will even send your credit card number to the merchant. And who knows how well the merchant protects that information from hackers or even from the merchant’s own employees? Not PayPal, however. PayPal has much higher security and never gives your credit card number to anyone else; not to us and not to anyone else. Your credit card number is kept secret by PayPal, unlike other credit card processors. Best of all, again, you don’t even need a PayPal account to use this service.

Regardless of which method of payment method you select on our site, the funds will always be processed by PayPal, even if you do not have a PayPal account. When you receive a statement from your credit card company, the charge will show as PayPal*PREM.

If you still feel uneasy sending money over the internet you can choose our option to register online and send us a check in the mail. Just choose that payment option and print your receipt to send along with your check or money order to the address given to you when you have finished your transaction. No access to a printer? Make sure your name is on the check and put the show name and date on the info line. We must receive your payment by the Wednesday before the show date. If not you will have to pay day of show (cash only) and we will return your check.
