Hello. Is there a way to make a payment using two different cards? Say a partial pay with one and the remaining with another if they are both registered cards?

No, split payments with cards, must be able to cover an entire purchase on one card.

 

If you paid with PayPal balance or bank account, you can back it up or split payment with credit card.

I read in a previous post that you could not divide a large dollar purchase into four or five equal amounts into four or five registered credit cards.  Is that factual?  I also read in a reply that you use PayPal balance or PayPal Bank account, that you could "back it up" with credit cards?  I am unfamiliar with PayPal Balance and Bank Account and "backing it up"? I do not want to max out any one card as I am trying to keep my individual cards' usage percentages lower than if I max out one card for the purchase.  Please explain.

Correct.  One purchase cannot be made with multiple cards.  One card has to cover it entirely.

 

 

PayPal Balance is the money you have in your PayPal account from money you add and/or receive into it.

 

Bank account is a funding source you link to your PayPal account.
