I do not have a Visa or MasterCard, how can I pay?

We understand that you may wish to pay via a method other than Visa or MasterCard. We would like to explain that booksellers have the option to accept other payment methods such as cheque, bank transfer, PayPal, money order and other debit and credit cards.

Tip: If you wish to pay via a method other than Visa or MasterCard simply click on the bookseller name to view their payment details. This can be done from the search results.

Should you choose to pay by Visa or MasterCard, AbeBooks accepts your payment on behalf of the bookseller.  We store your credit card details on our secure server, and they are never shared with anyone.

PayPal Orders:

You may wish to use PayPal to pay for an order. Once you have ordered from a bookseller who accepts PayPal, the bookseller should then contact you with their PayPal details. PayPal is not integrated into the AbeBooks system, so once you have the bookseller’s details, you will need to make the payment through your PayPal account.

Alternatively, you may wish to contact the bookseller directly and ask them to give you the details necessary for making the payment. To contact the bookseller once you are signed onto your AbeBooks account:

1. Click [Your Orders]
2. Then [Track your Purchases]
3. Find the book in question and then click [Item Details]
4. Click [Ask the bookseller a question] to enquire. AbeBooks will also have a copy of your enquiry

Please do pay using the payment method which best suits you. However, if you pay via Visa or MasterCard, AbeBooks can assist you more quickly in obtaining a refund if the book is lost in the post.
