You may not remove your back-up funding source while an instant transfer is still pending.

Strange... What is the "instant transfer"? I never use such kind of thing. Since long time ago, I can not delete my credit card. It always said: "You may not remove your back-up funding source while an instant transfer is still pending. " Too many times... Frustrating... I deleted bank account, created other credit card... I tried everything, but this credit card still can not be deleted.

 

If I want to delete the old address, it says: "This address cannot be removed because it is associated with a credit card in your account. To remove this address, first remove the credit card associated with this address, or update the billing address for the card"

 

Dead loop...

I have been receiving this message for months and months.....You may not remove your back-up funding source while an instant transfer is still pending.

 

I don't have ANY pending transactions.  This is the very reason I choose to use another method of payment. I am fed up with paypal.

I, too, am having this problem and do not have any pending transactions, instant or otherwise. I have added my new credit card and made it the primary. Still I cannot remove the cancelled one. This topic was started back in April and still there is no answer?? Ridiculous.

Still no answer for me either. THANKS PAYPAL. Going to give Google Cart a try.

I fixed this problem a long time ago.  I called PayPal and told someone the problem and he fixed it while I talked to him.  I think this is the only way you can get it fixed, call PayPal.

Thanks for the info, glad that worked for you. Not a great option, but better than none, I suppose. Do you know if that was a permanent fix or would you have to call PayPal every single time you got a new credit card?

I have had this being said on my account FOREVER!!!! I don't have any pending transactions that I know of. I've been hearing about ALL the problems people are now having with paypal. I don't use it everyday, but I think I'm gonna find a different place to do my business. Guess I'll be calling paypal come tuesday.

You have to call paypal to get this removed.  I did, it took about 5 minutes and it is now finally gone.

Yep, I had the exact same problem, I simply called PayPal directly and they check to make sure that there are not any transactions pending, and then remove the card manually, it only took 5 minutes, so if you have this problem, please do call them.
