Hi, I currently don't have my debit card so I linked my bank account in place of it. The problem I'm having is that some sites I can't pay with my preferred payment method, it's always asking me to add a card. I wanted to know if there's any way around this, maybe I could take the funds from my account and add to my wallet?

Hi there,
Welcome to the PayPal Community.
Some merchants only allow card payments. You can try top up your PayPal balance with your bank account, however you need to ensure your bank account is confirmed first.
Here’s how to confirm your bank account:
- Log in to your PayPal account.
- Click Money near the top of the page.
- Click + Link a new bank.
- Choose your bank.
- Select the account type and enter the Routing and Account numbers.
- Click Continue.
We’ll confirm your bank account by sending 2 small deposits (each between $0.01 and $0.99 USD) to the bank account you want to confirm.
