Hi everyone!

 

I hope everyone is well. I just got over a terrible cold that caused me to miss some work. The good news is that, between naps, I got to catch up on a lot of Law & Order episodes I missed over the years.

There've been a lot of illnesses going around this year, it seems like (including a nasty strain of norovirus).  I know I haven't been feeling all that grand on and off for the last month, either, but it's always good to know I'm in good company Smiley Happy

Completely! This cold and flu season's been a particularly rough one as far as I can tell. My dr's office has been swamped.

Hi.

I think this is great.

I have two questions: is this the chat, this forum? If this is not, I couldn't find the link.

And two: Should I ask my questions here? Thanks!

Hi Olivia. Thank you for your welcome.

 

I am struggling with this issue a few days ago, and I couldn't find any solutions. 

 

I am from Argentina, and I have a verified Paypal account since 2 years ago, with my VISA credit card. I always used it and it always worked fine. I have positive balance in my account two, and never a problem.

 

But last week I was going to pay for my Hosting Provider, and I noticed I couldn't use my credit card. I didn't have the options to change my Payment Method, I was able only to pay with my Balance. I didn't want to do that, I wanted to keep my balance, and pay with my credit card, but there wasn't an option. I thought it was maybe a configuration from the server (it was the checkout page of Paypal, anyway), but nope. I tried on another services and always the same - even I tried to send a payment through Paypal website.

 

I have the memory of be able to change the Payment method in the past, so I asked for a friend if he has this option, and he does. He has Balance in his acconut and a credit card linked, and when he wants to pay, he is able to chose from where is funds are coming. So, I want the same as he! 🙂

 

I suspected this may be some setting I change without know in the past. I was playing with the API and stuff, so maybe I configured something and I can't change it now.

 

Thank you so much for your time!

Hi patriciot,

 

I'd be happy to help shed some light on things!

 

This could be a couple of things, but the most likely issue is that there are funds available in your PayPal balance. When there is a balance on your PayPal account, a third-party credit card can't be used. The balance would have to be withdrawn or spent in order to allow the payment to be made with a credit card.

 

I hope this helps!
