Avoid Aliexpress via Paypal. All, yes ALL, transactions are being processed by Paypal as cash advance! Resulting in Credit Card Issuer inflicting a cash advance transaction fee + accrual of daily interest as high as 28% APR! No way to resolve and all three companies (CC, AE & Paypal) will circle jerk the finger pointing of who is responsible with no solution. Reddit is exploding with many customers getting hit with these fees in the tune of 10's and even 100's of dollars. Avoid!!!

Paying the balance early in Pay Monthly won't violate the terms.

Remove your PayPal account from eBay payment first. Now after making a purchase, it will redirect you to PayPal, pick 'pay in 4' from there.

Quote from OrangeTerrier1367 :
Pending points, showing on multiple transactions, for total transactions above the 1250 threshold, doesn't verify you will get 20 percent back above that threshold.

Did you make a bunch of purchases above that, and have wishful thinking, or do you work for them?
This guy sure acts like he works for them and he thinks he knows for sure what's going to happen lol he's just guessing basically, running the terms through a few a.i prompts doesn't make a person an expert.

Quote from covid22 :
How long after I make the purchase does the "points pending" message show up? Wondering because I just made a purchase on eBay and selected the pay in 4 option. The transaction shows up in the transaction list but doesn't say "points pending" like my previous transaction.
It showed up very quickly for my 5 transactions, even the the two which were immediately canceled by Walmart. The only difference with those 2 that were canceled is that they didn't show the "number" of points pending, and it took 72 hours to partially fall off my account.

No, I'm saying you are wrong. How do you get by in life? You see, I have command of the English language and understand the terminology, so I was never in doubt from the beginning. As time has passed, I have provided confirmation in a few different ways to support my original analysis.

Wording analyzed by myself and multiple AI models:
https://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=180419071

Confirmed by PayPal reps from the relevant dept:
https://slickdeals.net/f/18824500-select-paypal-accounts-pay-later-with-paypal-get-20-cash-back?v=1&p=180426868

Then to top it off, we have multiple people who have used above the $1250 and have points pending showing 20% for each of the purchases in excess of that.
There is NO confirmation. Just your interpretation - I have no problem with you (repeatedly) sharing it, but you're doing others a great disservice by passing it off as fact.
Bottom line is that the T&C's can be interpreted many different ways. LLMs don't have the answer, and clueless outsourced CSR's don't have the answer either (not to mention you are cherry picking their responses, lol). Pending points are also meaningless, since they aren't even capping those as $1250 per purchase.
Just stop acting like it's a sure thing - it's far from it and it's best if folks understand this.

Quote from GlenR1272 :
How long does it take to actually get the 20% back?

I wanted to start small. So purchase $70 of coffee yesterday on Amazon using Paypal. I had saved the 20% offer and did the monthly. I had to give SSN and other stuff to get approved for the monthly. I then paid it off this morning. So basically a "loan" for about 12 hours.

I now have 1498 point pending. But how long until no longer pending? I do not like the pending aspect as that seems like something they could take away.
I want to be comfortable with how this works before I make any big purchases. I also assume I get $1250 and then my wife will also get $1250 as she has a separate PayPal account?

Also, I assume that there is no problem with me buying something and paying off right away over and over again? Like they will not take away because they are losing money on me?

Thanks in advance for any help!

BTW, I think this is a pretty horrible thing because it is obvious they are trying to pray on people. 33.9% interest is insane and probably should be illegal.. So anyone doing this deal you really need to pay it right away.
It will take 90 days for it to actually post to your PayPal account

Does it have to be the "Pay in 4"? I'm in MO so the only one that shows up under pay later is "Pay Monthly". Not sure if the deal works for both.
No. It also works with the pay monthly. But the Pay in 4 is a better deal as no interest. But I did the monthly yesterday and paid it off today and paid basically no interest.

He is hoping he can finally get his own place in his 60s with this extra money. Go easy on him.
worst part is, IIRC, his Pay in 4 was disabled due to some error with Walmart early on.... So he's just camping in this thread with 0 vested interest.

Up to 90 days, but that's probably after you finish paying it off.

Yes, you can pay it off early. I've done it on two of mine, and I'm about to do it on my last one with points pending. But you can't use some credit cards, like Chase to do it. I used Discover.

You must have missed my screenshots and many of my posts. I had multiple transactions go through with points pending, and I've already paid 2 of 3 off.

Those Walmart pending ones cleared off of my activity. They only show in my Pay in 4 plans now. PayPal rep told me to wait up to 48 hours. I'm not optimistic, but at least I got a few done before it cut me off.

Pay Monthly doesn't have the $1500 limit, but charges interest if you just let it pay month by month. So it has to do with another option available regarding limits.
I wasn't aware you can get 20% back on paying monthly option

Yeah, it's in the terms. But there are some people here who say it's only Pay in 4 because they didn't actually read the terms.

The eBay PP banner literally says:

Earn 20% cash back
Make the most of your money. Pay in 4 with PayPal through 12/8.

Yeah, it's nice until it stops showing up for hours.... or longer.

Glad I got in some good savings before it locked me down. Hopefully it reappears soon. I've got more money to spend. lol
