When I select pay pal for my purchase online I expect the money to come out of my pay pal account balance but it will only deduct from my connected bank account. Is it not possible to make purchases with your pay pal account balance?
Thank you!

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 prefered way to pay and put a dot in the balance option.

Yes! That was the problem. Thanks for the clear direction! It was defaulting to my checking account and didn't realize it. Thank you!
