Have you a card already linked to your account? If not, link a card and see if that will fix things and let you use your balance or PayPal Credit. If PayPal Credit is not available it is recommend you choose another of your available payment methods. PayPal Credit may not be offered as a funding source for every purchase. Even if a merchant offers PayPal Credit as a way to pay, PayPal reserves the right to restrict your ability to use your credit line depending on the circumstances of each purchase.


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

Have you found the solution to using your new credit account for making purchases?  I have not.  The national merchant promotes on their Buy Now the PayPal details including credit, but when I click pay with PayPal it says link a card.  I don't want to link a card.  I want to use my PayPal credit account.
