Paypal’s pay in three is an easy hassle-free way of making expensive purchases more affordable. It’s simple to use and any problems are dealt with immediately and effectively. I have used it on at least 3 occasions to buy things I wouldn’t have been able to afford to buy outright. On the first purchase my ordered item was out of stock. My order was cancelled and my payment refunded swiftly do I I was able to make an alternative purchase. The last time I was able to buy a more expensive present for my daughter at Christmas than I would have done if I couldn’t spread the cost. And it’s free! Reviewed on: 13th May 2024

Pay in 3 a new choice of payment with Paypal

5
I chose Pay in 3, I love that Paypal are adding new features and options for how you can pay. I use Paypal credit anyway but this is good option for a managed short 3 month repayment plan. Paypal automatically takes each payment from your funding source, effectively you get 3 months interest free credit. Reviewed on: 13th May 2024

Helps me get the goodies I want whilst still managing to balance the other day to day spends. At this point I'm yet to encounter a negative point. I have worked hard to get my credit fixed after a bumpy start. PP credit helpse with this. Reviewed on: 13th May 2024

I like PayPal pay in 3, it’s quick and easy. Efficient and reminds you when you need to pay. Had no issues with it so far so that’s a bonus. Would like it to offer pay in 3 maybe on lower payments but it’s pretty good as is. Reviewed on: 13th May 2024
