How to Successfully Pay for GRE or TOEFL Registration Using PayPal

Are you planning to take the GRE or TOEFL but facing difficulties in making your payment? This article will guide you through the process of registering for these tests using PayPal. By following these steps, you can ensure a smooth and hassle-free payment experience.

General Guidelines for Making GRE or TOEFL Payments Using PayPal

ETS, the organization that conducts these prestigious tests, primarily accepts credit cards for payments. However, if you have a PayPal account, there's a way to make your test registration payment using this method. Follow the steps outlined below to register for the GRE or TOEFL using PayPal.

For GRE Registration

Visit the Official ETS Website: Start by visiting the ETS GRE registration page. Create or Log into Your Account: If you don't already have an account, create one. If you do, log in. Select Your Test: Choose the GRE test you wish to register for. Fill Out Registration Information: Complete the required fields for your registration. Payment Options: When you reach the payment section, look for the option to pay with PayPal. ETS may not directly accept PayPal but consider other options if offered. Confirm if PayPal is an accepted payment method. Complete Payment: If PayPal is accepted, follow the prompts to log into your PayPal account and authorize the payment. If PayPal is not available, use a credit or debit card instead.

For TOEFL Registration

Visit the Official ETS Website: Go to the ETS TOEFL registration page. Create or Log into Your Account: Sign in or create an account if you haven't already. Register for the Test: Choose the TOEFL test you want to register for and fill in the necessary information. Payment Section: Similar to the GRE registration, check if PayPal is listed as a payment option. Authorize Payment: If PayPal is accepted, log into your PayPal account to complete the transaction. If not, use another payment method.

Important Notes and Tips

PayPal Acceptance: As of the latest update, ETS primarily accepts credit/debit cards. Always check the most recent information on their website or contact their customer service for accurate payment options. Be Aware of Fees: Understand that using certain payment methods may result in additional fees. Make sure to review the fee structure before proceeding with the payment.

Alternatives for Those Without Credit Cards

Unfortunately, if you don't have a credit card and PayPal is not an option, your best bet is to borrow a relative's credit card. In India, Maestro cards are considered a Mastercard, but they are not accepted for test registration. Therefore, you will need to use a friend or family member's credit card to complete your registration.

Please ensure that your first and last name match exactly as they appear in your passport. Any discrepancies could lead to complications in the registration process.
