Quick and easy to use

Quick and easy to use, allows me to purchase now and pay later with 0% interest over a few payments, what's not to like Reviewed on: 27th June 2025

PayPay offers me pay in 3 but never gives anymore.

I have not been able to use pay in 3 for about a year now. Paypal keeps offering me pay in 3 but denies me. When I could use it 2nd and 3rd payments were always early. Never behind in payments ever. Now I have been using Klarna no problems and 100% of my 2nd & 3rd payments are early. So never behind. Reviewed on: 27th June 2025

Easier payments and interest free

5
Pay in 3 is a great way to spread the cost of a purchase and it's interest free. With many vendors accepting PayPal payments now, it means I can take advantage of sales between pay days to grab a bargain and have the peace of mind knowing I can afford the split payments instead of having to save up first and potentially missing a sale. I love how easy it is to use and the breakdown of costs with payment dates is given immediately and it's easy to check online. Getting reminders of when the next payment is due is also great.

I regularly use PayPal pay in 3 especially through eBay - it’s simply and easy to use. Making payments more manageable. I like that it’s set up as a sort of direct debit that comes straight out of your account. I have adhd and can sometimes be quite forgetful Reviewed on: 27th June 2025

Cost effective way to budget

5
I have used Pay in three a number of times now and find it very easy to set up and use. It has helped me manage my budgeting which is very important in these current times and works out a very cost efective way compareed to other forms of financing. Reviewed on: 27th June 2025
