Pay in 3 works for me

5
I have used Pay in 3 for more than 30 purchases over the last year, since moving house. I have had a number of costly repairs and renovations to do and Pay in 3 has allowed me to spread the cost of other purchases such as furniture or personal items over several months, making budgeting easier. I like Pay in 3 because PayPal send reminders when payments are due and confirmation when the money leaves your account. The PayPal website has full details of all active and completed plans, which helps monitor spending over a relevant period. Plus, it’s interest free! My personal experience of Pay in 3 has been excellent, but I have always ensured I have money in my account to cover payments. I cannot comment on how Pay in 3 would work if a payment was missed.

PayPal Rocks!

I use PayPal most of the time as it gives me time to work out my finances if I make a snap purchase - I make sure everything is paid off quickly at a convenient time for myself Reviewed on: 6th June 2024

Easy and convenient

Very convenient and I always feel protected when using PayPal. I like to pay in 3 as it spreads the cost of items at no or little extra cost. Reviewed on: 6th June 2024

Great way to pay

5
PayPal has always been a great way to pay for items. Especially the pay in 3 payments when the money is low and wouldn't be able to buy at full price. Best thing you ever did bringing this system out. Reviewed on: 6th June 2024

Good opportunity to buy something and split the cost without too much credit impact and worrying about anything else. It’s all straightforward as it links to your bank account or whatever credit or debit card you use. Reviewed on: 6th June 2024

If you’re %100 sure you can afford it!

It is a good idea, but only if you are %100 sure that you will have the money to pay for what you are buying! Reviewed on: 6th June 2024
