You can pay for any order on AbeBooks using the following cards:
Visa - MasterCard - American Express - JCB
In addition to the above cards, each individual bookseller lists other payment methods they can accept. Once you have found the book you are searching for, you can view the bookseller's accepted payment methods by clicking on the bookseller’s name in the search results page.
Please be assured our credit card server is completely secure and your credit card number is deleted once your payment has been processed, unless you have stored it on your account. If you are not comfortable using a credit card online, please use one of the bookseller's other acceptable payment methods. Many of our booksellers accept cheque, invoice or money order, and you are able to select any of these payment options from the booksellers who accept them
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 [View My Orders] under My Orders on your Members Menu 2. Find the book in question and then click [Item Details]
3. 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 using one of the above cards, AbeBooks can assist you more quickly in obtaining a refund if the book is lost in the post.
