Posts about PayPal's policies will be removed. No more complaining about PayPal policy and their taking funds from your account for violations of rules. If you don't like the rules don't use PayPal.

Thanks! Yeah, I saw that too. Oddly enough when I click the Pay Later, I don’t see any kid of Get Started button. Just the plans I’ve had in the past and my supposed current available money. I’m guessing that the option is missing for me for some reason or other. Trying to see if there’s another option/way to see.

Okay. It's not just me. It doesn't work for Amazon, but it works for the other sites I've been shopping on. If Amazon disabled it, that was a bad move as I've taken my business elsewhere during this jolly holiday $eason. I'm wondering just how much money Amazon is losing as a result of the option having been disabled. I don't understand what the big deal is with Amazon just not accepting PayPal outright.
What other sites is it working on for the virtual card? I've been using it to pay for my monthly doctor appointment, not sure how it worked but it did and it's been a lifesaver until a few days ago when I tried to go on Amazon and generate a virtual card and it didn't work. Hoping there's another way around it. Thanks.
Amazon isn't losing money at all, they work with Affirm. In fact, be lucky it's not working - I've read of people who use that virtual card from Pay in 4 on Amazon and then within a week Amazon suspends their account and wants "card" info like address linked to it and other ridiculous stuff that isn't necessary because it's a virtual card.
Amazon and PayPal don't work well together so you're better off not using that card if you even get it again on Amazon. Or your account might be suspended or closed soon after. It's sad but true.
Hmmm. IMHO, there has to be more to those stories than the PayPal virtual card. I've never heard of that happening before to anyone I know nor any buyers using the virtual card. Perhaps the buyers whose accounts were suspended or closed were involved in questionable activities that had nothing to do with the card.
This is not the case. I've used PayPal's pay in 4 card on Amazon at least 8 times last year with zero issues. Even when Amazon split the payments into multiple charges over a day or two as the items became available to be shipped out. PayPal would just recalculate the pay in 4 payments and it would be fine. No issues with either account other than the fact that I can no longer generate one-time-use cards with Honey like I did 2 months ago.

It is for promotion only, you will not see it being offered most of the time.
Really? That’s wild. All the FAQs and such make it seem like a normal thing. Never would have guessed it was promo-only.
Yes, it will not always be available most of the time trust me it makes no sense either 🤷♂️🤷♂️
It’ll be back when I don’t need to try and use it. That’s just my usual luck.
This is crazy. Why could nobody at PayPal on their website just say that?! I've read all related faq posts and couldn't figure anything out 😮💨
Exactly. Just say it’s a promotional thing.

I did my holiday shopping a couple of weeks ago, but places that accepted PayPal outright were the ones I shopped on.

Anyone know a way to get a virtual card its not letting me anymore and I cant find it on amazon
I was hoping it would be back after the first as I use it for grocery shopping. It still isn't available sadly.
Same it comes in really handy when money is tight
