Some Mahoning County courts accepting Pay Pal payments

YOUNGSTOWN — Mahoning County Area Courts in Canfield and Sebring now accept online payments of fines and court costs in routine cases by credit card under limited circumstances.

By paying online, the defendant is waiving an appearance before a judge or magistrate, admitting guilt and closing the case.

Online payments are processed through PayPal, with a 4 percent convenience fee added to the credit-card payment.

The payments may be made at ecourts.mahoningcountyoh.gov.
