 I have had more trouble with PayPal credit after it's changeover from Bill Me Later. Now when you make a purchase on sites such as Petco.com you are met with a "pay with PayPal" button. You assume it's connecting to your PayPal acct. Seeing as PayPal Credit still resides at the url billmelater.com, one would assume the button linking the purchase to your acct would also say Bill Me Later.   As my PayPal acct is autopayed, I delete PayPal payment due emails. Then 2 months later, someone calls and says they are from PayPal and that my account is past due. I walk away confused...past due? I autopay. Yes, it was my mistake but I only make purchases from petco twice a year and, sadly, PayPal Credit only refunds once a year. Yes, I should have closed the account or removed it from payment options, but the confusion remains the same.  Is this not confusing to anyone else?   Want to be completely befuddled? Just click on the PayPal logo on any email you receive from PayPal credit. Where does it lead, you ask? It certainly must be to the PayPal Credit formerly Bill Me Later site - since that is the group with whom you are dealing with via email. But....NO... it takes you to the original PayPal website where you see your PayPal and PayPal Smart Connect accounts. In other words, every PayPal account BUT the one you're looking for. ...
