I applied for Bill Me Later on Paypal just for the hell of it, and I got approved somehow, with a $500 limit. For a starter I got my girlfriend the Dexter series boxset off eBay, 6 months no payments and no interest if paid in full. I wanna use Bill Me Later to grab a few things off RSC while their loose figs and such are on sale, has anyone used Bill Me Later on RSC or a site other than eBay?

I tried to use it on eBay, but they decline me for some reason. -.- If they decline you they send you a junk letter in the mail.

Try to pay that off as soon as you can. |

I have it but I never spend more than I can pay off in a months time. I make smaller purchases on it just to build credit.

I'd be nervous to use it, but don't know much about it really

I used Bill Me Later one time for a flight. Paid it off before interest started accumulating.

I always get tempted to use it but the last thing I need is more debt.

I have it, with some oddball credit limit. I use it occasionally if buying a Blu-Ray on eBay or something, and just pay it off within a couple weeks.

I used it last year on a whim to see how much $$ they'd give me, which was $500. I used it a few times to get some early Elites off of eBay and then immediately paid off the amount that I spent the next time that I was paid. Paying stuff off on time/ahead of time helped raise my credit score a little bit too which is good.

I think I used it once when it was new and they ran a promotion to save some money. My fiancee uses it once in a while, I think, though not really out of necessity. Whatever the case, and since I assume you're a younger guy with likely little experience in such things...as some have already stated, don't ever get yourself into something you can't ALREADY PAY OFF if you needed to. Treat credit cards like cash or debit cards, barring a catastrophe or something like that I suppose. Know what you're spending what what it's going to and be prepared to not spend anything that you can't pay off within the month. Simple philosophy by which to live.

I've never used it although maybe I should apply. I wouldn't get carried away but if I get approved it could be a way to help my credit go up.  |

Focus on the main point rather than you not being younger. Chances were that would be the case, forgive me. |
