Since my mother told me always use PayPal I've never gone back

When I was growing up in a strange post-internet era as a teenager having just lived in a world without it my mother told me as I got my debit card to never use it directly and to use PayPal I've never gone back. I've never felt safer online and it shows not only is the credit system superb and fair as I've recently become disabled so it gives me time with a lower wage to still buy what I need urgently; but I've also never had anyone track me from my purchases etc keeping me safe from scams.

Paypal credit

It's not bad to have paypal credit because it's easier to control and repay than, for example, a credit card, the only small complaint would be that there are no longer, as before, promotional offers of up to 24 months deferred payment with 0% interest, unfortunately only for 4 months and the APR goes up for 1 percent, if I'm not mistaken, since September, which is not really a plus for me instead of going down!
