How to pay PayPal credit

horsewithnoname

Sorry if this is a really stupid question. 

I was buying something on Etsy via PayPal and as I was offered £20 to pay by PayPal credit, I did. I expected the amount I owed - about £15 - to go onto my credit card linked to my PayPal account, but it hasn’t, so how do I pay it? I can’t see any way to do it, so please feel free to explain like I’m a toddler 😁
many thanks

Does it show anything in your PayPal account

No, which is a bit odd. It shows current balance zero. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’m not sure so please don’t act on my advice, but PayPal credit is a different set up, it is what it says, a credit agreement. You need to find out where that is, perhaps a google search might be useful , to see what, if any, you are likely to pay in interest and how to pay.

Thanks Soolin. Never even thought to Google it 🤭 it’s easy enough to, and they send you a statement, all done via the PayPal app 👍

In case anyone else is puzzled, I have had an email from PayPal explaining that pp credit works like a credit card, they notify you when you get a statement and when a payment is due.

Thank you for updating, that might help someone in the future.
