3.6) How can I pay for my successful Bid, Buy Now or Sponsored To Play purchase?

Paying for a Bidding position: If you're successful in Bidding for a position, details of your winning bid should immediately appear in your Bid Manager page (and you'll also be sent a confirmation e-mail shortly after bidding closes). Payment can then be made by choosing the Make Payment option and following the on-screen instructions. Failure to make payment within the allotted time (normally 4 days after you have won the auction) will result in your position being re-opened for bidding or being allocated to another player.

Paying for a Fixed Price - Buy Now or Sponsored To Play position: When purchasing your Buy Now or Sponsored To Play position, simply follow the on-screen instructions after selecting the position to make your payment online. Buy Now positions have to be paid in full, while Sponsored To Play positions can be secured by making a deposit payment only, with the remaining balance required to be paid by a set deadline date.

All online payments are made through the online payment provider WorldPay, ensuring your transaction will be carried out over a secure payment link. We can only accept online payment from Visa, Visa Debit, MasterCard, or Maestro (formerly Switch) cards. Note: From 7th August 2008 WorldPay will be applying MasterCard SecureCode and Verified-by-Visa to all the MasterCard, Maestro and Visa payments they process on Football Aid's behalf. MasterCard SecureCode and Verified-by-Visa enable cardholder's identity to be authenticated through entry of a secret password/PIN - very much like the PIN number used in face-to-face payments.
