How can I change "pay after delivery" payment source account for purchase?

I purchased an item on eBay, and used the "Pay After Delivery" option. At the time, I didn't have funds in my PayPal account, so I used my linked bank account info. The item was delivered, and now PayPal is ready to deduct the payment from my account... no problem there, but it wants to use my linked bank account instead of my PayPal balance. How can I change this?

You can't, if you are using pay after delivery then it always takes funds from your bank account even if you have funds in your paypal account balance.

 

That is how it works, they can only delay the payment and automatically have it taken on the correct day via a bank account.

What if you have two linked bank accounts? Is there a way to change to the other account for "pay after delivery?"

Hi there. I am amid this problem and just learned the absolute answer is no. After fraud occured on my primary checking account, the one as it were that has always been my Pay After Delivery account, I spend a ton of time trying to simply either change the linked account to my other bank account that is on PayPal, or to simply pay ahead of time to clear up the scheduled payments and avoid any more complications, fees and confusions on the compromised primary bank account I am desperately trying to secure and close. I finally called in tonight, spoke to a rep, and essentially: they cant change or redirect the already slated pay after delivery to another verified bank account, cant take payment for the total of these scheduled items in any other format than that one bank account that was in place at the time of scheduling. The answer was, verified or not, funds available or not, even when notified that this bank account is not valid, is not secure and may not even be open when the time comes; I can neither take care of payment through a valid, updated, verified funding source, not can I delete or otherwise prevent PayPal from proceeding to attempt use of, and therefore create even more activity, on a corrupted and now invalid account. Also, anyone in Pay After Delivery with a scheduled payment: you will not be allowed to delete the account either. You essesntially cannot stop or redirect the source of funding. I wouldnt have cared even had I known this before, because I would never have forseeen any problem. But alas, one has come and it is a bit disheartening to learn I literally cannot be proactive and simply have to wait for a bunch of either declined payments, or the horrors of what legitamate activity might do to the process of securing and closing my bank account at a big bank known for its, um, lack of consumer relations. I hope Pay Pal considers this topic in the future. Other than this kind of rare, extraordinary situation creating so many problems for me, I have really loved the program and use it regularly.
