What is PayPal?
In short
A wallet payment provider, used on some sites for small charges such as identity checks.
PayPal is a wallet payment provider, and on dating sites it often turns up in two places: as a way to pay, and as a small charge to confirm who you are. Loveawake uses it in the second role, where One-time SMS or PayPal micropayment identity check is part of checking identity. A micropayment of that kind confirms a payment method rather than selling your details, and it is quick to complete. It does mean the check may leave a small charge on your statement, so check your billing history before you dispute anything.
