Is there a way to use the Paypal Credit card to pay an individual (non-business)? If they send me an invoice, do I have the option to use Credit? If it makes a difference, this is not via ebay. Thanks |

Are you asking about using a credit card to pay through paypal, or using Paypal credit/"Bill me later" to pay someone? I haven't tried the latter, but whenever I buy stuff with paypal, it'll prompt me if I want to pay with my account balance, bill me later (credit) or a card on file.
I imagine it should be the same if it's a paypal invoice. |

Yes it is. Individuals have sent me invoices via Paypal, and I have paid on those. Works just fine. |

Ebay and Paypal are no longer affiliated. Paypal credit can be used almost everywhere for almost anything, except at some Foreign establishments….. for me anyway. |

Yes. When you get the invoice it will default to paying via bank draft. Next to that is a "Change" link. Click it and you can change your payment method to credit card. The recipient has no way of knowing how you paid and they get their money the exact same way no matter what you do. EC |

But from what I've discerned, the recipient will be charged the transaction cost if you use the regular PayPal options as described above. But if you use the "family and friends" option there is no transaction fee however you can't use the credit card option but must have the money debited from your balance our your back account. But if I've discerned incorrectly I would like to know. Thanks, Jim |

If you use the 'pay friends and family' option the recipient does not pay charges, you do. |
