PayPal pay in 4, how does it work?
Is it a good idea for me to use PayPal's pay-in-4 system?
PayPal’s “pay in 4” has seriously saved me many times
Any reason not to use Paypal pay in 4 or other similar instalment systems when you have the cash?
PayPal is running a special with 20% back when using their Pay in 4 option. So for example, I buy something for $600, am I billed $150 or they deduct $150 from my bank account associated with them every two weeks? Or do they put the $150 on my PayPal Credit card on a every two week schedule and I pay it on my own? Getting $120 back seems like a good deal so I want to make sure I am using this option correctly without paying interests. Thanks!
UPDATE: It seems like this was just no-strings-attached free money, except after a few weeks, I went to use pay in 4 and they tried to charge me. I stopped using it then, but I can definitely see how someone might have developed a habit and could now be stuck in a predatory situation.
Title. PayPal's pay-in-4 system was pushed to me recently, and it seems like a good deal to me--an interest-free, short-term loan over the course of two months. I don't see any gotchas in the fine print (e.g., "it's free now but we'll charge you later"). It seems like I should pay for everything I can through this system--an interest-free loan sounds pretty great. I'm not worried that I'll overspend--I've had a credit card for several years and have not paid a dime of interest on it. Is it a good financial decision for me to use this system?

LPT: PayPal’s “pay in 4” has seriously saved me many times
PayPal’s option to “pay in 4” has got me out of quite a few sticky situations. My credit is not great, but I am approved for every time I “apply” for this option when paying online. I get paid biweekly, so after bills if I do not have the means to make a big purchase (most recent example: four new tires) I can make four even payments over four months that has zero interest and does not affect my credit. (I’m making 4 payments of $240 as opposed to a lump sum of $960).
Highly recommended for anyone with a PayPal account who is struggling to make a necessary purchase.
If there are cons to this, please let me know!! I’ve done so much research and cannot find any negative feedback.
