Hi claptonou812,

 

Thank you for posting to the PayPal Community Help forum. What a great question!

 

PayPal Credit cannot be used to fund a purchase made with the PayPal Debit Mastercard.

When you use your PayPal Debit Mastercard, PayPal will use your backup payment method if you do not have enough money in your PayPal balance.

What If your backup payment method is your Papal Credit?

Hi LupeR,

 

Thank you for posting.

 

PayPal Credit cannot be set as a backup funding source.

As another PayPal user being interested in this same matter I need to ask this question.

Why PayPal_Nichole, is it that PayPal Credit cannot be - or maybe the better wording: is not being allowed to (by PayPal itself) be - setup as a backup funding source?

I remember a few months ago when I was talking with PayPal customer service, about removing my PayPal SmartConnect credit line from my PayPal account after I had paid it off and also discussed adding the new PayPal Credit to it and also indicating a desire to use the PayPal Credit as my backup funding and NO ONE mantioned that I might not be better served to keep my PayPal SmartConnect credit line.

I unfortunately found out that the PayPal Smart Connect would not be connected to my PayPal Business Debit Mastercard, but not until after I had closed my PayPal SmartConnect account.

To this day, this has left a bad taste in my mouth and left me with less than happy feelings about the issue. One PayPal representative indicated that there was some merger or acquisition or changeover that was occurring - such as the dissolution of PayPal from EBay and that after this, PayPal Credit would likely be able to be used.

I still wonder how much truth I have been given about this issue.

Simply put PayPal_Nichole: If PayPal will not be allowing PayPal Credit to be used as such for a financial reason, then by all honest reasoning, just come out and tell us that it is not in PayPal's best business interests to do so and be done with it.

Just makes me irritated to be truthful.

If I have a 0 balance and I use my PayPal debit card to make a purchase and PayPal credit is my preferred payment method will the payment be made from the available balance in my Paypay credit account
