Hello, I am just trying to find out If using Paypal Credit responsibly, and making payments on time every month will help to raise my credit score like a traditional credit card or other lines of credit. I ask this because if it does, I will use it for purchases that I know I can pay off within the first month or 2 at the longest, instead of buying the products outright, so I can build my credit and also not pay any interest, which would be a great thing... but I cannot find any answers to this online regarding paypal credit, the only information that I have found is in regards to a paypal credit card, and is it the same thing? I am talking about the Paypal Credit that just instantly added a line of credit to my paypal account, without a physical card. Thank you in advance to anyone who knows the answer to this!

The hard inquiry lowers your score a few points... But sadly the only time they will report you to the credit bureaus otherwise is if you fail to pay...

PayPal is not likely to report anything to your credit score unless you have a problem. There is no point in PPC reporting your good activity. Adding a credit card, using it once, and then just keep it active is probably a better way.
Also, make sure you are never delinquent on any bills you owe.
