The exact same thing is happening to me! Used this option for years paid back every time on time. PayPal is moving from PayPal Europe to PayPal UK maybe this has something to do with it, otherwise I'm lost and very frustrated

Hello @StuL62 and @Gazcally,
Welcome to PayPal Community Forum and thank you for posting!
I am sorry to know that you're not getting PayPal Pay in 3 option and I understand this can be frustrating sometimes. Please be informed that Pay in 3 may not be available for certain merchants. Our system may also decide not to offer PayPal Pay in 3 as an option based on our internal checks. Pay in 3 is decided based on a variety of factors. Our decision process is automated. Some details our system reviews include your financial position, the information you provided within your application, and information about your usage and history with your PayPal account.
Regards,
Ayesha

Your company is a complete joke , take jet 2 , book your holiday with them and pay in 3 is advertised on their holiday page, you spend 30 minutes booking the flight and holiday, inputting all your details and passport information and then you press PayPal pay , you are redirected to PayPal and guess what ? It states this payment option is not available, please return to jet 2 to pay !!
What a way to treat a loyal customer who has been with PayPal for 8 years and never missed a pay in 3 payment and had spent 30 k with various merchants over 3 years.
i have spent hours on the phone to management trying to ascertain why this is happening and get no where, all I hear from PayPal management is your account is in good standing and the facility will reappear at some point etc etc or some merchants do not offer pay in 3 or certain products etc , all a load of bs eh ?
I now encourage all my friends/ family to not use these idiots

I understand what your saying but I have been with PayPal for years and since the pay in 3 option has been available I have used it with 0 issues. All of a sudden there’s an issue and clearly people are experiencing the exact same problem. I recieved an email regarding them changing there T&C but no mention of them changing the pay in 3 option but it seems to me that’s what’s caused the problem. Like others I’m unhappy with this as there’s certain companies that only accept PayPal rather than say Clearpay.

Although Pay in 3 is an unregulated payment method, PP should advertise its biggest minus clearly and boldly not in the small print.
After a quick phone call to the pay-in-3 team, the picture is a bit clearer. The biggest minus is that it is a payment method with policies completely controlled by an algorithm, inaccessible to the staff. So you might get the option, and then one day, the algorithm will decide it doesn't like something and will remove it.
I would say to any company that doesn't allow manual override of their credit system that this is cynical and cold behaviour. Maybe 3in1 should be regulated too.
If you are responsible with your money and need to use some instalment program and not offer 3 in 1, I'd say go and use other 0% competitors like Klarna, etc'.
I feel sorry for Paypal's staff who are left with no answers to their clients.

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 !

Why not just save x3 instalments of funds and then buy the item outright?
