I'm a new user who's only recently joined paypal. My bank account is verified and my debit card is set up on the site and was working fine until just today. When making a purchase on a website today, the only payment options were e-cheque or instant bank transfer. My debit card was working fine yesterday and always turned up as the first payment option, but now it is no longer available as a payment option for some reason?. Why can't I pay using my debit card? It worked for my first five purchases with the site (two last night and three this morning), but on my sixth purchase it stopped showing my debit card as a payment option for some reason, even though it was working perfectly fine yesterday and this morning.
Is there any way to fix this problem so I can use my debit card as my payment option? I really don't want to have to pay by e-cheque if at all possible since it takes so long. the only reason I signed up my bank account was so I could use my card, since it's so easy to pay using it.
Thankyou in advance for any help!

How do I contact Pay Pal by phone, Iwould like to speak to someone in the old fashion time honoured way, instead of going round in circles and not making any progress. What is the phone number for Pay Pal please?
Thanks Beryl.

I have had my account for years and made many payments with the same card details now its all gone and there is no card details on the account. What is happening and what should I do. I need to pay for something quick and do not want to keep entering this data and waiting ages before it can be used. Can you just reinstate from your records.

I have been using paypal almost 2 years. Now I having the same problem just the first time, my debit card is fine but the payment to the buyer still pending that's mean I need to wait longer to get the shipment.
I am not happy with this maybe to find another way to make it quicker.

If you are sending signed for then you must post within seven days of receiving payment.
If the payment is pending in a held balance untill feedback is left you should post as soon as possible in order that feedback can be received and your funds released.

Hey there guys,
If your payment to your buyer is pending, its been sent via an eCheque.
I would ask you to make sure you have confirmed your card as having a confirmed back up funding source will significantly reduce the chance of eCheques being sent.
Both your bank account and card will have to be confirmed.
- Go to www.paypal.co.uk and log in to your account.
- Click ‘Profile’ near the top of the page.
- Click ‘Credit/Debit Cards’ under ‘Financial Information.’ (Don’t see this step? Follow the instructions below.)
- Click ‘Link and Confirm My Card.’
- Click ‘Save and Continue.’

There can be quite a few reasons, for starters if your payment method is defaulting to eCheque then more likely you usually pay by Instant Transfer rather than your Debit Card.
On the payment review page are you given any other funding options?
In addition, check the expiry date on your card in your profile, under 'cards', update it if needs be.

You set up a direct of which I was unaware it used my Personal Reserve that has cost a £22 penalty clause all to pay £9.79 . To say the least I am not too pleased. There should have been sufficient funds to cover this amount but your transfer of funds to me took more time than did for you to claim from my bank account
