I found out what the issue was. Apparently when the PayPal system detects a certain risk in the transaction due to an unknown predetermined amount, it won't allow the use of PayPal Credit as a form of payment. I played around with the amount I was sending, and in my case it flagged anything over $2500. So I made 2 separate payments that totaled the amount for the goods I was purchasing, and both payment transactions then let me use PayPal Credit as the form of payment. Nobody at PayPal or Synchrony can tell you this. The agents have very little information and can't tell you a thing beyond what you can find out on your own. This is the world we live in now. Sad.
