Funding

It is not clear to me how to fund my Paypal wallet.  Under the balance there is on option that reads "Transfer Funds." When you click on it it says "There is nothing to transfer right now, try again when you have a Paypal balance."  So the question is how do I get a Paypal balance?  How do I fund the account?

You are in the UAE and the option to 'add' funds to your paypal wallet is not available, all you can do is 'withdraw' funds from your paypal balance.

You can however purchase items without funds in your balance as paypal will automatically deduct from any linked and confirmed bank account or card.

 

You can select which as your primary source as per below and change it during checkout if you want to.


Click on the profile tab (icon next to log out) > Click on payments third option along on the thick blue band top of page > second down click on update next to your preferred way to pay and put a dot in one of the options listed.

I see, you'd think I'd still be able to fund it with an account outside the UAE but I guess not. Thanks for the response

Well, I'm in the US, not the UAE, and I don't see anyway to fund my account either.
