Scan has now augmented its payment system by accepting eBay-owned PayPal as a method of payment. Nothing unique in that, you may say, but Scan is accepting PayPal payment over the phone and even face-to-face, if you have account details to hand.

So for folk who have a few pennies tucked away in their PayPal accounts and don't want to go through the process of withdrawing the cash to a bank account, Scan will happily help you out :).

What's more, as always, UK-based HEXUS.community discussion forum members will benefit from the SCAN2HEXUS Free Shipping initiative, which will save you a further few pounds plus also top-notch, priority customer service and technical support backed up by the SCANcare@HEXUS forum.

Anyone tempted to spend more because they have a few spare notes in their PayPal account? We'd love to know.

Nice to see Scan doing this. Having Google Checkout wouldn't hurt either :P
But the thing is what about the Paypal fees? Will Scan have to foot that, or does it come to the same or less than what they pay for their payment system? (Assuming you gotta pay for a system so that you can accept credit card and debit card payments on your website etc)

Yeah, much better to withdraw money from Paypal to bank (it's free last time I checked ;)) and pay direct to Scan - Visa or whatever take less of a cut I think. :)

And well, if you haven't dealt with Scan before and are worried about giving details, if you trust Paypal more it's abit silly ;)

Whilst Paypal will take a chunk of Scan's reciepts as fees, so do Visa, Mastercard et al… card processing doesn't come for free. The benefit to retailers of accepting cards is that it's easier for us to spend money with them so we spend more and more than make up for the fees charged.

I see this as a GOOD thing.

It means Scan will have to deliver to my work address (where I can sign for stuff), instead of to my home address (whilst I'm in work :wallbash:) as is currently the case if I pay with my debit card.
