Unfortunately PayPal payment is much more time consuming and costly for the RSGB to administrate 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. The prices quoted for membership are the same as on the main RSGB website and the PayPal premium is added at the checkout stage.

The premium for paying by PayPal is £2.00 per transaction
