PayPal
While we wait for our credit card processing capability to be reactivated, we have opened a PayPal payment option. This will be an option (using credit cards) from 45 countries (see a list at PayPal's site by clicking here).  Unfortunately, no African countries (except South Africa) are included.  If you have never used PayPal, it will take you about 10 minutes to set up a free account.  You need do nothing with that account except use it to pay the IASYM by credit card.  The money will be put into our PayPal account and we can then withdraw it to our UK bank account. 

Payments can be made in Canadian Dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling, Yen or US Dollars.
