Deposits but no balance

[Ferret56]

Hi Ive had a few transactions showing in my account activity but no balance is available to send out. Any ideas about why. Thanks

Have you bought anything and paid for it via paypal since the payments should have gone in??

The reason i ask is that if you have funds in your paypal balance and then buy something then paypal will always take from those funds (as that is now the default funding source), rather than from your normal funding source eg bank account or card.

To check go and click on the word "details" next to any recent paypal buying transaction and see if they were funded from your paypal balance ie buyers payments rather than your normal funding source.

Thanks very much, that was the issue. I thought I had elected credit card payment for each purchase, but I guess I had forgotten to do that on a recent transaction. Thanks again, appreciate the fast response.

Glad it was sorted, but it was only a 'fast' response because I chose to log on shortly after you posted in between present opening..
