So PayPal Europe has now had to become PayPal U.K. as the British government are trying to control all financial institutions that offer services in the U.K. . This is a concerted effort to deny British customers the ability to pay in 3 . Even if you have never missed a payment PayPal will remove the option for you based on your credit score . As part of the new regulations PayPal will credit check you . The U.K. government are saying pay in 3 unregulated credit is triggering debt in people who cannot afford to pay . Hello why do you think people choose pay in 3 ? Pay in 3 options led to a massive drop in credit card use as why pay 29% interest on a credit card when Pay in 3 is an option . Klarna did this last year & now PayPal . Hundreds of thousands of people lost the ability to pay in 3 overnight . So I have Zilch & Clearpay whom might I add are working out just fine for now . PayPal just made a huge mistake probably lost half their customers in one fell swoop . So the poor get poorer & the Rich get richer . Same old story of take away the ways to pay no one can afford to play ! ... View more

So as soon as PayPal moves to PayPal U.K. my pay in 3 my option is removed . I believe this is a concerted effort by the brush government & financial institutions to control how people like myself can pay for our goods & services . It appears now PayPal is credit checking all U.K. account holders & that even customers like myself 21 years standing I’ve had my account never missed a payment used PayPal pay in 3 on hundreds of transactions have had this option removed . Klarna did exactly the same last year . I now have a Zilch account was given it straight away and will be using that in future . In fact if I did not have to use PayPal for my eBay account I would delete it immediately . Anyone else had this issue ? ... View more
