Covered First Payment

Letting us cover your first payment is a convenient way to complete a purchase and gives you some extra time between buying and paying for the item. If you allow us to cover your first payment, you’ll need to sign up for a PayPal account and agree to the terms of the User Agreement.

If you take advantage of our offer to cover your first payment, we ask that you login to your new PayPal account within 7 days and add a debit or credit card or and pay us back for that covered purchase. We'll email you a reminder with instructions on how to complete the payment.

If you don’t want to let us cover your first payment, just add a debit or credit card to your PayPal account during the sign-up process, or after you complete your purchase by logging into your PayPal account.
