for the record billmelater through paypal is a fucking joke

And I would encourage everyone to not waste their time.
 
care to elaborate on why you think this? I see it advertised but haven't tried it yet. Is it just that they start billing sooner then later?

inquiring minds want to know.
 
I'm curious as well. I was thinking about looking into it when I bought my Tron pin, but went with Best Buy's 0% before I got any details on paypals bill me later.
 
BillMeLater is bad starting from the fact that it does a hard credit pull which will affect your credit score probably for a good year before it rolls off.
 
I've used them for a few years and before they were with Paypal. It's awesome. It's just a line of unsecured credit like a credit card. Having them do a "hard pull" (huhhuh, beavis) never affected me getting other loans for cars, secured loans, etc. My credit score is as high as it's ever been.

There is another reason.

I signed up because ebay is going to give you $15 towards a future purchase. No sweat, I sign up, and pay before I have much interest.

Six phone calls and hours later I still can't get it to work and nobody at either paypal or billmelater has an answer. I shut down the account.

I went through all of the steps of clearing out my balance on paypal, making billmelater my primary source of payment, created the account.

Then when it's time to pay with billmelater instead of paypal, it asks you to set up another account and you can never get logged in to pay for your item.
The people are either powerless, stupid or both at billmelater. I had 6 phone calls, so I was able to experience several different people who "tried to help?"

waste of time
 
Ruined my credit long ago with bad decisions,everythings cash from now on. Ive seen it but never checked it out.

I'm not surprised...lately...it seems like 9 out of 10 calls to any CS rep/dept. ends like that.

Thanks you for choosing _____. We're sorry we can't help with your request. Thank you for calling. Have a nice day.

I swear they all hire the same (do not) call (us back) center(s).
