Interest free PayPal

Hi,

Does anyone have any experience in making a purchase on eBay and using the interest free PayPal option? I have agreed a price for an item, which was cheaper than the original asking price. But when it comes to paying the option to pay over 10 months, interest free has disappeared. 

Does anyone how it works. 

Thanks in advance.

    I haven't used it but I do know there's a minimum threshold; I believe it's around £99?  Not certain on the exact figure but I would think the price dropping below the threshold to qualify is the most likely reason here.
  • Hi. 

    That’s not the case. The item costs £1,400

    Oh, yeah that's definitely not it then!  Sorry I have no other ideas.

    Is it a new item or from a business seller?  Their terms often vary so it depends what offer they have on
    at the moment.

    Do you already have Paypal credit?  Have you gone through the payment page where you get to choose Paypal and then the
    credit option?

    There are categories / sellers that will be excluded from the offer also.  Possibly because its not a fixed price item?
    eg.  You cannot pay invoices or requests.
