You get an extra 1% in ebay bucks bringing it to 3% so as long as you can afford the item to begin with you get extra $$$

Well now with ebay bucks you have to reach a certain level or they don't pay out.

I've never used it but honestly Paypal is such a scum bag company.
I wouldn't be surprised if there was something in there to screw you over.

I've used it, don't like it. It's just limited-utility credit with no benefits. If you want credit, get a card. If you need credit, rethink the purchase entirely.

Words of wisdom.

Used it back when I was on unemployment and was living off $50 bucks a week. I couldn't get a credit card so this was my only option. Would only use it for items I needed under $20 and would write down when the payment was coming out so I would know to cut down on spending that week. Never make big purchases on it if you don't have the capital, that interest rate is a killer and will keep you poor
