Note: PayPal offers the most affordable credit card transaction system available, however, if you charge more than $2,000 on your credit card, you will need to sign up for a PayPal account (then the system will allow you to charge more). This information was not known when selecting PayPal. Based on feedback from you, ARTA will consider switching to a more robust and expensive credit card processing tool in the future.
