PLEASE SHARE WITH FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES PayPal, the Easiest Way To Pay and Get Paid, Demonstrated On Tek Talk Monday, July 14, 2008 Accessible World News Wire, Indianapolis, Indiana USA During this week's Tek Talk event, attention will be focused on PayPal, a secure, global online payment system that allows individuals and businesses with an email address and an Internet connection to securely send and receive online payments for goods and services. There is no fee to use the service to buy something; it's always free to use PayPal to send payments to someone. Millions of people use this system but blind computer users need to know if it is accessible with assistive technology. Bill and Jennifer Sparks, both totally blind business owners, will answer that question as they discuss its pros, cons and accessibility issues. Not only will they show how to set up and use a PayPal account but will enlighten us regarding the advantages and disadvantages of having such an account. Following their presentation, there will be time for the Sparks to answer all your questions.
