Reviews for PayPal have trended positively over the past 90 days

PayPal Credit and Pay in 3 make spreading payments easy and stress-free, with many loving the interest-free options and security. However, some find customer service frustrating and struggle with unclear fees, slow payment processing, and occasional access issues to Pay in 3. Overall, PayPal is trusted but could improve support and transparency.

Positive themes

  • PayPal Credit’s interest-free plans make big purchases manageable and hassle-free.
  • Pay in 3 is a brilliant way to spread costs without interest and keep budgets on track.
  • PayPal feels safe and secure for online payments with strong buyer protection.

Negative themes

  • Customer service can be poor or unhelpful when issues or disputes arise.
  • Pay in 3 access is sometimes denied without explanation causing frustration.
  • PayPal Credit payments can be slow to process and confusing to manage.
