Sure! I use it “as intended”. I pay later. But I only use it when I know that there’s going to be money later (I have money now) and I plan my economy pretty thoroughly. It gives me some extra space when I need it, and makes it so I don’t have to put out my own money to companies I haven’t purchased from before, which can be useful since I tend to look for the best deal available and that often leads me to smaller shops that have no ratings or other reputation online.
Is there an advantage to buying from unknown shops via Klarna as opposed to paying directly? Does Klarna deal with any dispute or do they demand the money from you anyway?
Assuming it’s not what you wanted, does Klarna deal with the seller in case of a dispute or are you stuck dealing with the seller while still having to pay Klarna?
Out of interest, how do you use it that you find it useful?

I have found that its easier to get refunded because you haven’t paid yet and Klara has more power to get a refund

I can get the product in my hands before paying for it, so I can verify it’s what I wanted. I also don’t spread my debit card info around.

I simply don’t pay the invoice and send the product back. I never fronted any money.
