PayPal Troubleshooting:
If you run into a problem, remember there is an underline as a space between ditr_training in the email address.

Don't miss the continue/confirm/submit payment button!

If this is your first time using PayPal, please note, there is a button at the bottom of the confirm payment
page (the very last page of the payment process after you double check your registration information)
that a lot of people miss. It often ends up below the bottom of the screen
depending on your browser, so you don't see it unless you scroll down.
If you don't push it, the payment isn't completed.

When you complete a payment using PayPal, both you and we will receive an almost immediate email
confirmation from PayPal telling us a payment has been made. We then send a confirmation to you saying we
got your payment. If you don't receive email confirmation, the payment was probably not completed,
If you aren't sure, please check your PayPal transaction history or contact your
credit card company to verify there has been a charge to your account.
