Every purchase made with a Pay in 4 loan will appear in your PayPal activity as a full purchase amount under the merchant’s name. This line item reflects PayPal paying the merchant upfront so you can then pay PayPal back for your Pay in 4 loan by spreading the repayments over time.
You will also see your down payment taken on the day of the purchase which will equal one-fourth of your total purchase amount.
