Whaaat??? Home Depot now accepts Paypal?

I'm walking thru the store and I see signs advertising "the new way to pay in-store". I guess u can enter your email on the credit card swiper machine as a form of payment. I gotta go get details. Pretty cool.

I wonder if the stores do that so they don't have to pay the 3 percent fees that VISA and MC charge the vendors ?

I am waiting for the day that stores start charging the customer the 2,3 percent fee for using their charge card.

No. When you receive a VISA payment in paypal, it charges you the credit card fee. No way to get away from it.

Stores won't explicitly charge you the 2% credit card fee. It's already built into the product price.

yea

paypal was prob offered for those that wanted the convenience of it (and prob so HD can avoid cc fees if the paypal account uses a bank account instead)

True that... Everybody always finds a way to make the others pay...like buying a house they say free closing or they will pay closing fees, but they are already listing the house 5,000-10,000 higher than value or higher than what they need to get by...

Hmm... interesting. Doubt we get it here in Canada.

Years ago I had a Paypal credit card, I'm talking a good 5+ years back. I loved that thing, instead of waiting days for them to transfer my money I could use it instantly while getting groceries. They no longer seem to offer it in Canada though, so when it expired I was SOL

I used my paypal at home depot
I was mailed a physical card with a magnetic stripe
It is paper, not plastic
They were actually giving $10 off any $50 purchase if using paypal to check out at home depot ... so I went and bought $50 worth of stuff for the home
