CompUSA Chooses PayPal for eCommerce Payments

CompUSA.com now accepting PayPal for quick and easy checkout
MIAMI--(Business Wire)--
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!"
