Do I make payments to the seller?

Why would I want to use PayPal Buyer Credit
instead of a credit card?
PayPal Buyer Credit is an additional line of credit that you can use
anywhere PayPal is accepted, freeing up your credit cards for other
purchases. In addition, you may be able to take advantage of promotional
financing offers. When you purchase an item with promotional financing,
you can take advantage of deferred-interest or fixed-payment promotions
(see
details).
What is promotional financing?
Promotional financing refers to financing programs that offer deferred
interest (and in some cases, no payments for a number of months), or
fixed payments. The promotional financing offers that may be available
include:
- No interest if paid in 3 months and no payments for 3 months for total purchases
over $199.00 USD (see
details)
- No interest if paid in 6 months for total purchases over $199.00 USD. Monthly
payments required (see
details)
- No interest if paid in 12 months for total purchases over $199.00 USD. Monthly
payments required (see
details)
- 12 fixed monthly payments at 12.9% APR for total purchases over $999.00 USD
(see
details)
- 24 fixed monthly payments at 12.9% APR for total purchases over $1,999.00
USD (see
details)
Promotional financing may be offered by qualified sellers. If you purchase more than one item from a seller, at least one of which qualifies for a promotional financing offer, your total purchase will receive the same promotional financing offer.
What does no interest if paid in 3,
6, or 12 months mean?
"No interest" financing allows you to avoid paying any interest
on the promotional balance as long as the promotional balance is
paid in full by the end of the promotional period. For both the
6 month promotion (see
details) and the 12 month promotion (see
details), you are required to make a minimum monthly payment
on the promotional balance during the promotional period. For the
3 month promotion, no minimum monthly payments are required on the
promotional balance during the promotional period (see
details).
What does fixed payments for 12 or 24
months mean?
"Fixed monthly payments" financing allows you to make the same payment
every month until the promotional balance is paid in full. In addition,
an APR of 12.9% will apply to your promotional balance until it
is paid in full. See
details on the 12 fixed monthly payments offer. See
details on the 24 fixed monthly payments offer.
Are minimum payments required on promotional
financing?
Minimum monthly payments are not required on the promotional balance
during the promotional period for the "no interest if paid in 3
months and no payments for 3 months" offer (see
details). However, minimum monthly payments are required during
the promotional period for all other promotional financing offers
(see
details).
Who is the financial entity behind PayPal
Buyer credit?
Financing is provided by GE Money Bank, one of the leading providers of consumer credit.
Can I purchase multiple items from
a seller and qualify for the best promotional financing offer?
When you purchase multiple items from a seller with a single payment and one of the items has promotional financing available, the promotional financing offer will apply to the total purchase if the total transaction amount exceeds the minimum purchase requirement for that promotion. If multiple items you purchase from a seller have different promotional financing offers available, the promotion deemed most favorable will be applied to your total purchase if the total transaction amount exceeds the minimum purchase requirement for that promotion.
What if promotional financing isn't
offered on the eBay item I want to purchase?
An eBay seller who offers PayPal Buyer Protection on an eBay listing is eligible to offer promotional financing. You may email the seller and ask if he or she would consider revising the item to add a promotional financing offer. Although this is completely at the seller's discretion, a promotional financing offer can be added at any time until a listing closes. If a seller chooses not to offer promotional financing, you may still use PayPal Buyer Credit to fund any PayPal purchase and make low monthly payments.
