Is that still the case with PayPal since that time? I'm trying to use a credit card more and more, but I wouldn't like to mess up section 75 as I have a mortgage to pay off and it would complicate things unwillingly. It was a great deal getting this loan for my house near the beach thanks to an awesome mortgage broker Liverpool who took the time to explore all possibilities based on my pocket depth. Imagine losing a rate that's stable for the next 25 years for a dumb purchase made with a credit card through a Paypal transaction.

Which broker?! My pocket depth is shallow, too...

Mahalo for the heads up.

I also think that, if you use a credit card to pay for something through Paypal, there will be a delay in payment to the seller. I think that's happened to me with a couple sellers here on the OF. When you're on Paypal and about to send money to someone, there's a part where PayPal asks where money is coming from. And if they have any credit cards on file, they will be on that list of options. And I did that a couple of times by accident.

I used a CC to purchase something from Germany. The company wouldnt take US cards. But they took Paypal.
So I used the card, The very expensive ($4800) item gets held up in customs because the company didnt provide the right paperwork. The company ignored me. Filed a paypal claim and they ignored Paypal. So paypal gave me money back.

So where did it end up?

Laws and rules vary from country to country, noticed the British pound in the article.

Cool share! It's about time we got a good deal on our loan restructuring. Will have a look for sure.
