Re: Why can't I use bill me later at advanceautopa...

SOLVED!  This post here was very helpful and I will forever be greatful to this person :       Re: where is the BILL ME LATER payment option? [ Edited ] May-30-2011 11:42 AM - last edited on May-30-2011 11:44 AM   There have been many questions about this problem, and much erroneous info posted about linking your PayPal and BillMeLater accounts, and I have been part of the discussion.   I recently happened on one way to pay for most of your Ebay purchases using BillMeLater:   When you hit the "Pay Now" button, and get to the payment options, instead of choosing "pay using PayPal" (or what ever the wording is), choose the option that says something like "Don't have a PayPal account? " that says you can pay by a credit card or other means.   I tried that lately and guess what, along with the credit card options, it now includes an option to pay by BillMeLater.   It appears that you are signing up for BillMeLater for the first time, they even mention the initial free $10 credit for your first purchase, but if you have a BillMeLater account and choose that option to use BillMeLater, it will ask the usual questions (last four numbers of SS number, your zip code, etc.) and then it will approve you for charging the item to BillMeLater.   I have done this twice now, and it has worked fine.   I think this is the way they have decided to "fix" the problem, even though I haven't seen any announcement about it.  So next time you make an Ebay purchase, choose the option to pay with other credit cards instead of the option to use PayPal, and I think you'll see the BillMeLater option listed there.  I just accidently discovered this in a recent Ebay purchase I made, and I think it may be the only way to use your BillMeLater account to pay for Ebay purchases at this time, they are considering it an alternate payment method, along with credit cards.   Check it out.   I thought I'd pass this on, as it seems to be their answer to this question that many have asked.  The charge will show on your BillMeLater account page, but not on your PayPal account page (at least in my case, that's what has happened).   Alan ...
