Payment by PayPal

The RSGB does not accept payments via PayPal on this site but as a service, we do accept payment this way, for those wishing to pay for membership (only). Unfortunately PayPal payment is much more time consuming and costly for the RSGB to administer than regular credit card payments, so to cover some of the additional costs we incur, we make a small extra charge for those choosing to pay this way. We conduct PayPal transactions on a separate part of our website, so payments cannot be combined with book orders, etc on this site.

The premium for paying by PayPal is £2.00 per transaction

If you would like to pay using PayPal please CLICK HERE

RSGB Membership (overseas)
