PayPal Credit Not working for anything

[EM0423]

I setup my PayPal account, I started the PayPal credit, got approved, but it doesn't let me use it for anything... I tried to buy something online, doesn't work, tried to use it on Ebay, doesn't work, tried paying an invoice to someone for them drywalling and painting my basement, doesn't work, tried to just send them money from it because it said that was an option, doesn't work... How come I was approved for this but it doesn't work for anything? How can I get this work properly? Any insight would be appreciated...Thank you!

Well, you need to maintain an extremely high credit score, low debt to available credit with credit cards, strong financial statement, steady income, no disputes, and other risk factors. 

You will be offered to use PayPal Credit at time of purchase when all risk factors are good.  This includes the item being purchased.

For now, patience and maybe even for a long time.  You are the only one who knows your real financial an credit situation.

That's a poor and incorrect answer

My credit score 750 sti that's not the issue. I made one purchase, but can't use the rest and they innit can say that they're Protection is doing it. That bull because when you call them and say it's you they still don't go through even in Ebay it any website even if it has a PayPal Credit button I'm going to pay them that little $106 and close my account.

What's the purpose for approval for a line of credit if these are still a factor? A part of the approval process is to conduct the credit check and ones financial situation. Everytime you purchase an item should not be an approval process over again lol.

I agree 100%. I have been approved almost a week ago now and can not use my account. What's worse is customer service can't even give me a reason why.

Same situation. I was surprised to even be approved with my current situation. Whole point was credit didn't matter...so they say. But I was approved. But can't use credit they gave me because I don't have enough history with pay pal. In my opinion why even give me credit.....what a tease, what a joke. I'd rather them just tell me I am not eligible .....which is exactly the case. But I also receive different answers everytime I call.

Here's my issue; I got a credit line for $3750 and it allowed me to use $1000 of it right away. Now, it isnt even offered at the same merchant. This is very frustrating because the $1000 was a deposit for a custom built instrument and now it wont let me pay the rest. Why does paypal insist on decieving its customers? I guess I'm out $1000 bucks??????
