pay after delivery

[jinks]

The pay after delivery is a bad thing i reckon.When i buy something i expect to pay for it not have it taken out of my account weeks later.I dont know where i am when i bought an item weeks ago and today saw £210 pounds taken out. Ive now changed it.

If you have turned it off then thats good and it should not happen again.

How does this option work?

Sometimes when I use Paypal to buy an item, it asks If I want to 'pay after delivery'! It only apears 'sometimes' though!

As it stands, I would like to make a purchase and use the pay after delivery option but not sure how to!?

Can anybody help here?

What is Pay After Delivery?

 With Pay After Delivery, you don’t have to pay for your purchase until after you receive your item. Only certain purchases offer Pay After Delivery as a payment method. If it’s available, you’ll see the option on the Review Your Information page during checkout. There is no fee to schedule a payment using Pay After Delivery.

When you use Pay After Delivery, we pay the seller right away, so there's no delay in sending you the item. We withdraw the payment from your bank account 14 days later.

You still have full coverage on your payments. If you don’t receive your item or the item isn’t what you expected, just let us know by reporting a problem in the PayPal Resolution Center. If you report the problem within 14 days of making your purchase, we’ll put your payment on hold and you won’t pay until the dispute is resolved.

Note:

• You need a confirmed bank linked to your PayPal account to use Pay After Delivery.
• If there isn’t enough money in your bank account to complete your scheduled Pay After Delivery payment, we’ll use your backup payment method. We make two attempts to debit your bank account for a payment before we use your backup payment method.
• If the Pay After Delivery option doesn’t appear during checkout, it’s not available to you yet. We are in the process making this feature available to more customers in the near future.

That's a great help, thank you 🙂

Just one more thing though... Is it possible to find out if a purchase is elligable for Pay After Delivey before making the purchase?

Thanks again.

Unfortunately don't think so.

Hi. How can I change my PAD payment option from being paid from my linked bank to my linked credit card as this card collects points and |I'd lose out if paying from bank?

Many thanks.

Pay after delivery is only available for funds debited from a bank account.

Hi Chippydave48, 

Welcome on our community. 

kernowlass is right you can only use Pay after delivery from your bank account. 

If you have a bank account we will always use that before we would use the credit card. If you would like to use your credit card for direct Payment I would advise you to remove the bank account. But do keep in mind that Pay after delivery is not possible with a card only. 

I hope this helps :).
