I used paypal pay in 4 and immediately had a pending authorization for the full amount of the item and a pending transaction for the first of 4 payments. Is this normal? When I use afterpay I only get charged the first of 4 payments - not the entire amount.

Same thing JUST happened to me but they’ve never done this before. I wonder if it’s a change they’ve made to how they’re doing the pay in 4. IF it is, they should’ve stated that somewhere to let people know BEFORE they processed any payments. It isn’t right to have people thinking they were approved to “pay in 4” with only a smaller payment at time of using it but then charge that payment AND the full purchase price. That surely isn’t pay in 4! I don’t get it at all ... and it isn’t right or fair.

I'm seeing this as well. Is this a bug?
