PayPal question.

Hey guys couldn't find anywhere better to put this. Basically I'm verified with PayPal and when I go to make payments the money is taken directly from my bank. However, I have some money on my PayPal and would like to spend it. Is there an option on PayPal that I can switch the way I pay with, and if so where on PayPal can I find that? All help appreciated!

 

Hey Man,

Btw thanks for the trade earlier- regarding your question, when you're in the window where the "Send" button is (when you're sending money) it will show current payment method. Under that string of text should be a button that says "Change". Hit that and you will be taken to a page from which you select payment method.

If you have a bank/CC on your PayPal and not enough PayPal funds in your account to cover a given transaction, PayPal will automatically use your PayPal funds first and your backup method second.

No matter what, PayPal always will use funds in your PayPal account before anything else unless you specify otherwise.

 

Thanks for the response man. I'll give it a try. Thanks again for the trade earlier as well.

 

Yup anytime. If you have any other question feel free to drop me a PM.

 

Will do.

 

You can click Pay with paypal balance.

 

When you go to buy something it automatically comes from your paypal balance, then the rest comes from the bank account if it is over the amount that you have.

 

Couldn't have said it better myself.

 

Hey bud, as far as I'm aware, when you send money through paypal, it deducts your paypal balance before it touches anything in your bank / credit card. Or that is what I've noticed.

EDIT: Looks like this has already been answered.

 

Yeah, they use the credit on your paypal itself before taking it off your bank! Works for me atleast xD

 

Same thing with credit cards.
