I signed up for PayPal recently, trying to finance a new laptop I need for school. I tried using PayPal credit, with the understanding that the initial credit line would be increased if the purchase was above that limit. My purchase was rejected. I made sure my bank and phone and everything was verified and tried a couple more times. I've called Customer Service 3 times over this matter, but each time, I'm told they can't override the security system to make my purchase requests go through. I purchase a smaller item under the credit limit through PayPal checkout but with my own bank funds. I tried to purchase something smaller with PayPal credit and still nothing. I was told that no purchase attempts are being submitted to PayPal Credit and that PayPal itself is rejected those attempts from being sent to PayPal Credit. Apparently the security system is not allowing my account to make purchases with PayPal credit because my first big purchase looked suspicious. Well, it won't let me make a smaller purchase either, so what am I supposed to do to purchase with PayPal Credit now? The customer service can't override it and they can't tell me for sure how long I have to wait for the system to allow my account to use Credit again. Anybody else have this problem when opening a new account and trying to use PayPal Credit and have a way to fix the issue? Because so far, Customer Service has done nothing but tell me the different problems that could be causing the issue, but have yet to fix them...
