Sending money with PayPal credit

[rhust]

I was recently approved for PayPal credit. Then had to confirm some things regarding identity, which came out fine and my account is no longer on “hold”. But, when I try to use the credit to send money, it won’t allow me this option. Any advice?

PayPal reserves the right to restrict use of the credit line depending on the circumstances of your transaction and may not be available in every instance. If PayPal Credit is not offered/available, then it is recommended to use another linked payment method to complete transaction. Also since your account is new, you may have to make a few successfully completed purchases without disputes through your own funding sources so the PayPal Credit system has transaction history data to go on when deciding whether to offer it as funding source to you on future purchases.

@sharpiemarker thanks so much! I was also reading that I need to have the credit “linked to my PayPal”. I assumed this already happened when I was approved. Any insight?

Hi @rhust - 

Yes, when you get approved for PayPal Credit it automatically links to your PayPal account.  If you still need further assistance, you can always reach out through Facebook, Twitter, or by going to the bottom of any PayPal page under "Help"  or "Contact."
