Paypal

I have my paypal account set to use my creditcard and my bank account. By default, it uses my bank account, how can I change it so it uses my CC? I've looked around, by I guess I'm not smart enough to figure it out...

You should be able to select from what account you want to use. If you already have your credit card hooked up to paypal, once you are paying for something it should give you the choice, if not, right under your bank account information there should be a link saying you can "edit" or "choose account". I can't seem to get to that page as I am not paying for anything. Remember every time you go back to that page if you make an error, it will default to your bank account (stupid) so if you aren't paying attention (like myself

) the money will come out of your bank account if you don't have it selected to come from your credit card.

hope that helps

the instant bank transfer is awesome. Keeps me in check from making any more credit card shopping sprees.

When you're about send money to someone, you can unselect the instant bank transfer method, and select the credit card.

Walter,
I had the same problem with my account. You need to select a button that says 'other payment options' or something like that. Even after you select credit card, it still tries to talk you into using your bank account. Also, if you have enough credit in your paypal account to pay for the entire purchase, it will not even give you the option of using your credit card. You would need to transfer your credit from paypal to your bank before you try and make a payment in order to use your cc. Hope this helps/makes sence.
