CompUSA is now accepting PayPal as a way to pay for purchases made
on the All-New CompUSA.com website located at
http://www.compusa.com. CompUSA is the latest in the Systemax
family of brands to offer PayPal. PayPal is currently accepted in
North America at TigerDirect.com, TigerDirect.ca and now CompUSA.
"PayPal has been a strategic partner to our eCommerce operations,"
said Gilbert Fiorentino, President of Systemax's Technology
Products segment. "Consistently delivering new customers to our
websites is a key benefit of PayPal. The addition of PayPal to the
CompUSA website is a logical extension to our shopping cart." The
All-New CompUSA offers computers, electronics and accessories for
consumer, business, government and educational customers through
the CompUSA.com, CompUSABusiness.com and CompUSAGovEd.com websites.
PayPal is chosen by millions of online shoppers for its ease of use
and high level of security. When paying with PayPal, consumer�s
financial information is never shared with the merchant ensuring a
higher level of protection and security. In addition, consumers can
choose from several different payment options to fund transactions
including credit card, bank account and PayPal account balance.
Using only an email address and a password, PayPal account holders
can quickly and easily complete their payments in seconds. �We are
excited to add CompUSA to the growing list of leading online
retailers accepting PayPal,� said Dana Stalder, general manager of
merchant services and marketing at PayPal. �With CompUSA, PayPal
customers have even more choice when shopping for great deals on
computers, electronics and more.� To help celebrate the launch of
PayPal on the website, CompUSA is offering $20 cash-back to
shoppers who use PayPal as their payment method on purchases over
$200 for a limited time. "This is an incredible opportunity for
PayPal customers to experience the All-New CompUSA.com," said Lonny
Paul, Director of eCommerce for CompUSA. "Our website has a much
larger selection than before, expansive product information,
photos, video demonstrations and even manuals. Plus, we ship 95% of
our orders the same day, with most reaching their destination in
2-3 days. There are lots of new things going on at the All-New
CompUSA - and PayPal customers get a bonus for trying it out!"
