PayPal Holdings, Inc. Credit card department,
I made a purchase on - on -/-/16 using PayPal Credit. Paypal Credit ( formerly known as Bill Me Later ) has an ongoing feature that if you spend over $99.00 on an single purchase, you can take advantage of their no interest no payment feature for 6 months. I have used this promo on this website and others at least 10 times in the past year. For whatever reason that Paypal can not answer, this was not applied to this purchase. I followed up with the merchant ( Eastbay.com ) and they confirmed that the order went through the proper channels and they were supplied with a Bill Me Later confirmation ID ( - ) - which is completely different from the ID supplied if it was a regular Paypal purchase or another form of payment. I made this purchase because of the ability to pay at my convenience within 6 months. Paypal insists that I did n't log in and choose Paypal credit, even though the only way to use Paypal Credit is to log in through Paypal. There is also the fact that my credit limit in Paypal Credit was deducted the amount of the purchase. They state that some websites have the ability to natively choose paypal credit without signing in. I told Paypal that does n't concern this situation because Eastbay.com does not have that ability. - personnel confirmed this statement as well. What is most infuriating about this entire process with PayPal Credit customer support, no agent is able or willing to go to the merchants website and test what I and the customer service rep from the merchant is saying. I have screenshots of each step it takes to use Paypal Credit on the Merchants website, but paypal wants me to print out each picture and FA- it to them. They have no email function to receive or send. The entire process with Paypal and Paypal Credit shows a complete lack of customer service that is glaring when compared to the other established credit card companies like -, -, and - -.
