Abstract: Let $ X,~X_{1},~X_{2},...$ be i.i.d. random variables with $ 0<EX^{2}=\sigma ^{2}<\infty $ and $ EX=0,$ and set $ S_{n}=X_{1}+\cdots+X_{n}.$ We prove Paley-type inequalities for series involving probabilities of moderate deviations $ P(\left\vert S_{n}\right\vert \geq \lambda \sqrt{n\log n}),$ $ \lambda >0,$ and probabilities of small deviations $ P(\left\vert S_{n}\right\vert \geq$ $ \lambda \sqrt{n\log \log n})$, $ \lambda >\sigma \sqrt{2}.$
