Was very helpful to be able to split up the payments over 3 instead of paying it all in one lump! Reviewed on: 21st May 2024

Customer service is not the best.

Customer service is not the best. Sometimes they look for buzz words rather than listening to you. Reviewed on: 21st May 2024

We didn’t have to break the bank for a broken bed!

We had to unexpectedly replace a broken bed in a hurry. Pay in 3 meant we had a bigger and better range to choose from. Perfect solution when you haven’t budgeted for something Reviewed on: 21st May 2024

Really easy app to use. Use all of my payments through PayPal - I use the pay in 3 for nearly every purchase I make and it makes my bill expenditure easier to watch and justify. Reviewed on: 21st May 2024

Very easy and simple to use, I’ve used PayPal multiple times for a pay in 3 payment and have never had any issues at all Reviewed on: 21st May 2024

Overall brilliant.

I was originally refused PayPal credit despite having a good credit rating, but since getting it its so easy to use. Most places have PayPal credit now and its really easy to manage with the app.The only problem I've encountered is choosing which purchases to pay off first before the interest free term ends.Monthly payments are just taken off the entire balance rather than the purchase that will begin to accrue interest earliest.

Handy to use the pay in 3 option to spread the cost into much easier and more manageable payments. I have used this many times and it really helps especially at Christmas time. Reviewed on: 21st May 2024
