It’s really useful when paying for a larger purchase.

It’s really useful when paying for a larger purchase. It feels preferable to Klarna as it’s regulated, so it feels like you have more protection. I have never had any problems using it I just wish it was available more often, sometimes it’s not available at check out and I don’t know why. Reviewed on: 10th April 2026

In general, I have never had problems when using PayPal. Once I took the item in installments paying via PayPal. the item was defective, the seller did not want to include the warranty, but PayPal gave me my money back very quickly Reviewed on: 10th April 2026

Great for large purchases to spread cost.

Great for large purchases to spread cost. I regularly use this option for bigger purchases I may need urgently as it is 0% interest and automatically takes payments so I don't need to set any thing up. Makes it easy to do, couple of clicks and sorted. Never used customer service so can't comment on that. Reviewed on: 10th April 2026

Greater budgeting flexibility

5
Pay in 3 with Paypal allows me more flexibility with my purchasing allowing the cost of higher value items to be paid in three equal installments - helping balance budgets. It's perfect for buying items just after payday when the funds are tighter. It does, as with all credit, need to be affordable, but gives a great option for me to help spread the cost.
