Offering PayPal financing - GoFuckYourself.com

Have you offered financing via PayPal on your website for large ticket items? Of course I'm not talking about 90 day memberships! I'm talking big ticket items that may cost a few thousand dollars.

I'm curious how the financing may have impacted sales and how easy it is to get rolling.

Any feedback and experience would be fantastic. Thanks all.

Haven't even heard about Paypal financing. To who it is offered in the first place?

Although I have used "financing", but not Paypal. It does increase sales, but of course you have to count the cost of it versus the benefits.

Seems to be free for the merchant, so why not use it?

Business demographics differ from business to business, but I have noticed that people use financing (credit) even for very little purchases (like 50 $). So it's not just the thousands of bucks worth of purchases those are financed.
