Each time I buy something on eBay, the PP window comes up and it defaults to paying with my credit card.  I always want to use my PP balance first, and I must change it to use my PP balance.  Is this a default setting I can change.

 

Also, today I was purchasing something and again wanted to use my PP balance and also my Ebay Bucks.  As usual, I changed the payment method to PP Balance, but then as soon as I selected my eBay Bucks the payment method was changed back to my credit card.  How can this be fixed?

It doesn't work that way. It tells me card declined and won't use my balance. It encourages me to apply for a credit card

Hello, I also have the same problem. I've got 5.85 US dollars on my PayPal account and want to buy an item that cost 2 dollars but it seemd I can't use my balance for it, it only charges my card.

Can somebody help me?

I had the same problem and it seems you have to convert your available funds to whatever your default fund is.  My default fund was CAD, and I had 4.00 USD available on my Paypal balance which I couldn't use to pay for eBay items.  I went and clicked on "Details" in the available funds, then "Manage Funds".. Converted the $4 USD funds into CAD (my set default)... then voila!  it worked!

I too have the same problem!

I had a payment in from the US, which gave me a balance of £10.25 I have purchased items from eBay to find that I still have a PP balance of £10.25 ???

I can't understand why this balance wasn't used?

Please help!
