 +==== Paying Event Fees Online ====
 +You can now pay your event fee online via %%PayPal%%, even if you don't have a %%PayPal%% account. In the upper right corner of the submission form, the fee amount and a "Pay Now" button will be shown.  Click the button to be taken to %%PayPal's%% web site where you can log in and pay through your own %%PayPal%% account, or using a credit or debit card.
 +<note warning>For increased security and fraud protection, we recommend using either a %%PayPal%% account or a credit card rather than a debit card.</note>
 +Shortly after you've made your payment you should receive an e-mail confirmation from %%PayPal%%.  Also, you'll receive a receipt from the LPA for your payment, and the submission form will indicate that the fee is paid.  It may take a short time for %%PayPal%% to update our site, but typically no more than a minute.
 +<note tip>If our website does not immediately indicate that your fee has been paid, do **not** re-submit your payment.  We will be reconciling our records to %%PayPal's%%, and you will be credited for your payment if it has been made.</note>
