How to Cancel a PayPal Buyer Credit Card

A PayPal Buyer Credit Card is unique in that it allows approved customers to pay for their purchases over time. It can only be used with merchants offering PayPal as a payment option, such as eBay, Wal-Mart online, Ralph Lauren online and American Eagle online. After a while using the PayPal Buyer Credit account, a consumer may wish to cancel her credit line without closing her entire PayPal account.

Instructions

1. Call the PayPal Credit Service Center at [phone]. Customer service operating hours are Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 1 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, and on Sundays from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.

2. Once connected to the PayPal Credit Service Center, press "1" on your telephone to access your credit account.

3. Provide your account number, and if you don't have it tell the automated system "I don't have it."

4. You can then hit "0" or speak "Customer Service."

5. Once a PayPal credit representative gets on the line, tell him or her you wish to cancel your PayPal Buyer Credit Card account.

6. Confirm that your account is closed and hang up. You should soon no longer see PayPal Buyer Credit as a payment option in your account, and also receive an email or postal mail letter confirming your instructions.
