I have a Bill Me Later account, which has actually been renamed Paypal Credit since and I had to sign up and be approved for. I was not able to just click and automatically have a credit line though. PayPal users who inadvertently hit the wrong confirmation button when making a purchase should see another website open that strictly deals with opening a BillMeLater (PayPal Credit Acct), so they have the option to immediately opt-out and pay with their personal bank account/etc. through PayPal. They still have to be approved, they do not automatically open a credit line for you just because you have a Paypal account or should I say they should not have been able to. It seems to me Paypal made a huge Boo-Boo there if they were.
While I can see how confusing or possibly "deceptive," Bill Me Later (Paypal Credit) was, I personally never misunderstood anything during the checkout process.I know Paypal has its evilness, and I can see how mishandling payments and fees can create an issue, but I also feel like it is disappointing that people don't read and simply click ahead and now Paypal is going to have to pay for it. The sad thing is, Paypal can lose that kind of money and it's not a big deal to them. But to compensate, they are going to raise fees for us as users, ultimately making us pay for the carelessness and confusion of others, and that's wrong. These users who get money back are not truly getting it from Paypal, they will be getting it from all of us that use Paypal.Furthermore, I see this carelessness to be the same as buyers who buy and pay for something, then ask a seller to return their money and cancel the transaction with no regard for the fact that the seller loses money, time, etc. Thank you for the article. I sincerely hope online users start to learn to pay attention and stop thinking that the online world is pretend. It simply isn't.
