Pay in 3 is really helpful on big spends

Pay in 3 is really helpful on big spends, it gives me more time to pay for what I need to get which makes it stress free to pay the total cost and usually I pay back faster, so it's great for me! I little more is added to the total amount but it is negligible. Reviewed on: 8th June 2024

My go to option

5
Have not needed to use the customer service line for over 2 years however I find PayPal pay in 3 to be the most convenient option when short term credit is needed. I particularly like that the first instalment is taken instantly and the instant adjustments after returns. Also the option to be able to make adhoc payments as and when is a bonus. My go to option.

A safe way to pay online with the knowledge that should you be scammed you'll get your money back. The pay in 3 is especially great for those on a tight budget and with the added flexibility that should your situation improve you can pay it off sooner... Reviewed on: 8th June 2024

Pay in 3? Yes, please!

I’ve been using Pay in 3 for a while and I love the flexibility it gives. I’ve used it to purchase flights, furniture, clothing and even a new radiator. You can see all your commitments in one place and visually understand how many instalments you have left. It’s super quick and easy - it’s one of the best product PayPal offers. I’ve contacted customer service before but it was in regard to removing limits on my PayPal account and not regarding pay in 3 - hence I’m neutral on that. However, my queries have always been resolved in a timely manner. One thing that customers wanting to use pay in 3 should be mindful of is that each time it’s used, it actually gets logged on your credit file - so if planning for a mortgage or anything else of that scale, then it may be worth considering :) Reviewed on: 8th June 2024
