I was wondering if there is a way to switch the default account from which my payments are taken. After checking for a PayPal account balance, PayPal currently takes the money from my bank account, unless I manually change it to my credit card, which is what I always do. To eliminate these extra steps, I would like to set my credit card to be the default after any PayPal balance. Is there a way to do this?

Hi everyone!
It looks like some things have changed since this question was originally posted in the PayPal Community Help Forum! I'm happy to give some updates on how funding sources can be customized.
We now have options to set a preferred payment method for goods and services payments or for PayPal Checkout.
In addition, we have options to change preferred payment methods for preapproved payments (like subscriptions.)
I hope this helps!

Sorry you can't, after a paypal balance the bank account is always the default option.

Were you able to switch from Bill Me Later as your primary payment option? How did you do it? Thanks!

If you have paypal connect you can set it to be default or not. Here's how
Login to paypal
go to your smart connect summary
on the right under Manage my credit account click "Update account preferrences."
Under "Checkout preferences" you will see how it's set and if you want to change it click on Change
select how you want it then click [Save Changes]
You're done.
