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 kensteele :
Don't be silly.

The change is meant to defacto end the program without shutting it off completely.

If you want to discuss what prompted them to make the change, MANY reasons.

One of those reasons: The incessant calls and communications and emails to paypal, merchants, and everybody else NOT about the benefits of the promo but about it's implementation, nitpicking every words, when are my points going to convert, I don't see the options, why won't my merchant participate, will Chase let me, I didn't get a confirmation email, is a gift certificate a structured gift card, can I use a VPN for Morocco.....so much pressure they had no choice but to relieve it with a single stroke. No one wants to handle these silly questions, driven by the SD effect, over TG and BF holidays.

No one abused the process, PP could do whatever they wanted. They have the final say on points pending and they can do whatever they want in the end. You don't need to change the terms to decide how you adjudicated the points in the end. You change the terms to stop the GD phone calls and emails and endless bickering with PP, the merchants, and anyone else connected with the program........

Abuse helped drive this but we have found there is a reason for SD rules #1 and if you don't start obeying it, promos will take more drastic action to prevent abuse when they get bombarded.
Yeah, that's true. PayPal didn't do themselves any favors with their wording in the terms, but a lot of people don't read, anyway.

I just checked again and they changed it again.... they changed the expiration date so I guess they did give me one more 20% to use before Dec 2nd and they did update the terms to now say it's one per customer. I guess I get a second chance which is good because I only earned $17 in reward points from my one and only previous purchase.
I have the same wording as your image with "5% back on Pay Later Purchases, 20% Promo through Dec 2" and I'm reading that as my next Pay in 4 Purchase will only give me 5% back in rewards.

Quote from RUsum1 :
But the people paying it off right away are not likely to use the Pay in 4 option in the future. That would be my reasoning of why paying off immediately would invalidate this.

Not saying that is what will happen, just thinking from PayPal's possible viewpoint.
Well, I probably won't use it because I'm never strapped for cash. But I can tell you, I never knew or gave it enough attention to really acknowledge this feature in the past, and this has really made me aware of these different options with Pay in 4, Pay Monthly, and PayPal credit. If I was strapped for cash and racking up credit card debt like a lot of people, I might be more inclined to use this after being exposed to it in this way, whether I paid it off early or not. Some people were paying it off just hoping it would bring their Pay Later options back.

Right, but if you had read the terms a couple hours ago, or yesterday, you didn't miss anything, because the terms were different then. He/you, whoever, seemed to think they just misunderstood all along and missed something, but no, it is very new terms.

What even is the benefit for PayPal since this option doesn't charge interest like the Credit option does.

SD Rule #1 is hit the promo / price mistake fast, early, and often. SD Rule #2 is don't call, and only applies to price mistakes or inventory checks on clearance items.
Rule #3 is don't be silly

I also used this offer on a small purchase a couple days ago and was bummed they killed it off today. Just saw the additional 20% single-use offer before Dec. 2 and decided to give it a go. It looks like the correct number of points are pending for today's offer....hopefully it goes through. If PayPal screws me and redacts the points, I'll just return the item.

My Pay Monthly took 8 days to return after it disappeared.
My Pay in 4 disappeared 5 days ago and still hasn't returned.

There's no guarantee when it will return.

Quote from StrongManatee366 :
Boomer is so delusional about calling up to ask a question will ruin the promotion. People abusing the offer and what they are seeing in the transactions are what changed the terms.
People did more than just "ask a question." Don't be so naive.

When you call and don't like the answer you hear which is usually a non-answer from Paypal, you argue, you demand a fix, you ask for credits, you point them to forums where people are saying things, you send screenshots, you call ask for a manager, you call again and again hoping for a different answer.....they wanted the madness to stop and they right ended it; that's for sure.

You were part of the problem.

PP can withstand the abuse; that's what they do. They pend points, they flag suspicious accounts, they review receipts, the limit open revolving payment plans, they have a returns process in place, they have all kinds of ways to deal with the abuse. What they can't control is the calling and the unnecessary and excessive customer contacts about the promo. If you call looking for a black dress, maybe they help you Manateeeeeee. But yeah, it's the "telephone" abuse that does it every time youngster. That's part of what happened here. You'll learn for next time.

That's how it started; it has evolved. We are now into 2025 and more SD don't involve inventory or clearance. The rules still stands.
