Why doesn't Q take Regular PayPal?

I will not shop here because you do not offer check out with Pay Pal. Get on the ball. Many many places use Pay pal. I see you do allow Pay Pal Credit but what's wrong with letting people purchase with Pay Pal?

Not that this is a good reason, but PP charges extra percentages to process cc orders.

If one thinks about it, prices of merchandise will go up to cover the cost of a seller accepting PP.

How did you find the forums if you don't shop the q? I shopped here 12 years before I found the forums. LOL

I like PayPal and use it when it's offered.

@GCR18 On the front page of the Q at the bottom. I've known and been on the forums on and off for years. Way back when the Tova issue started. The forums aren't new to me.

I used to purchase here (bought plenty from here) years ago. I stopped shopping here because they don't take pay pal. I now have Pay Pal and use it extensively (preferred). I'm trying to minimize my use of passwords. Every place I shop now, offers Pay Pal (including HSN, Evine and JTV). I don't want my credit card information all over the net when I have pay pal.

Since Pay Pal is so widely accepted, I'm at a loss for why only Pay Pal Credit is the only method allowed on the Q.

I have no idea what you mean here. I have regular Pay Pal which is connected to my own banking stuff. The Q doesn't accept Pay Pal this way. They will accept Pay Pal Credit. That is a line of credit given to people by Pay Pal. I don't want or need "credit." @LTT1.

If you have your own banking "stuff" why can't you add that account to your QVC payment options and use that? I do that often. I have a debit/credit card and I pay for my purchased that way.

PayPal is no more secure than using your credit/debit card on a site. In fact, it may even be less secure.

If your debit/credit card information were obtained by hackers, you would be out money temporarily, but the bank would reimburse you for the charges (as this is part of the user agreement with the credit card companies and branded debit cards). If someone were to hack your checking account information (used by PayPal), your account could conceivably be emptied, and you may have absolutely no recourse.

The only reason to opt for PayPal over a card or sending in a check (which QVC allows) is convenience. That's fine, but do not believe (and preach) that you are in any way more secure by doing this.

I'm sure merchants have to pay a fee to use PayPal. With all the credit cards Q takes, PayPal hardly seems necessary.

It's amusing... We've got posters who swear the wouldn't touch PayPal with a ten foot pole; others won't shop without it. Y'all ought to get together and duke it out.

A simple answer why....QVC is cheap. They never offer anything extra to the consumer. It is called greed when everyone else offers PayPal, coupons, discounts and QVC never does.

@makena, I thought I mentioned why. I don't want my banking information stored all over the internet. It has helped me cut down on worrying about hacking and stolen info. That is the only reason why.
