r/paypal on Reddit: Can't use pay-in-4 anymore
November 2, 2023 -

I pretty much only use paypal for the pay-in-4 feature, usually to buy airsoft stuff or trinkets on Etsy. Long story short I had to cover a family member's car payment and that resulted in me not being able to pay $23 for my final pay-in-4 plan at that time until a week later when my next pay check came in, that was a few weeks ago and today I tried to use pay-in-4 again and was declined and now the option doesn't even appear at checkout anymore.
So am I like blacklisted from using it for being a week late on a $23 payment? And will I ever be able to use it again?

PayPal pay-in-4 & Credit scores - Money - Community
PayPal recently introduced a facility for paying in 4 instalments instead of immediately. There are NO extra charges or penalties involved. I have discovered that using this facility affects your credit score because each use involves a credit query on the provider. More on choice.community

Abbreviations used in r/PayPal : NAD - Not as described. SNAD - Significantly not as described. INR - Item Not Received. UAT - Unauthorized transaction. OP - Original poster of the message. F&F - Friends and Family (no protection at all.) G&S - Goods and/or Services (has seller/buyer protection.) Posts about PayPal's policies will be removed. No more complaining about PayPal policy and their taking funds from your account for violations of rules. If you don't like the rules don't use PayPal. If you don't want to lose money, don't leave funds in your PayPal account. Simple as that. But these posts are often political or misleading. So no more posts on this subject! Thank you for submitting to r/PayPal , please make sure you have read the FAQ . If your account was created when you were younger than 18, then that is covered in the FAQ! Try contacting PayPal support using social media such as Facebook or Twitter as this works more often than telephoning. I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns. More on reddit.com
