PayPal Pay in 4 no longer an option?

Question

Hi all, Iâ€™ve been using the Pay in 4 option for a couple of years and, suddenly, that is no longer an option. Any ideas? Thank you for your time!

I noticed that lately when checking out on eBay using PayPal, I was no longer getting the option to choose a payment method through my PayPal wallet -- a default payment method was being chosen automatically. I was able to specify a different payment source in my PayPal account for future purchases under Manage Automatic Payments for eBay, but I lost the ability to pick the payment method on-the-fly when checking out.

I was able to get the option to choose payment through my PayPal wallet at eBay checkout back by deleting the PayPal entry from my eBay Payments page.

Now when checking out on eBay and choosing PayPal, I am sent to my PayPal wallet page where I can choose a payment method -- including the split payment or pay-in-4 options.

Hello hinckleybulls: now that eBay is requiring more Buyers to pay the full amount immediately on listings (other than straightforward Buy It Now), the PayPal Pay in 4 option no longer works.

Ebay announced last fall that starting with Best Offer listings, Buyers will be charged immediately and in full. Since then eBay has added other type of "offer" listings and more and more auctions.
