PP cash card not an option

I cannot get my cash card to appear as a payment method on eBay. All I get is my checking account, my bank debit card, and an offer to get a PP credit card. I do not want the credit card; I want to use my cash card. Is there something I need to do to make this happen? Thanks.

The PayPal cash card does not appear through PayPal checkout online, instead your PayPal balance does, that is, IF you have a PayPal balance available to use. The cash card draws from your available PayPal balance. It is not a credit line, nor does it draw money from your linked back account or credit/debit card.

 

If you don’t have an available PayPal balance to use, you must pay with the options shown to you or add money first to your PayPal balance with your linked bank account first. Then, you may use your PayPal balance to pay.

 

You’d primarily use the Cash card in-store or at websites that do not accept PayPal like Amazon where you enter the cash card info. Again, you still need to carry a PayPal balance to use it or the transaction is declined due to insufficient funds.


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

Apparently I wasn't clear. Yes, I need it to show my balance instead of offering me a credit card. I do have more than enough in my account. I have gotten it on a few instances, but not consistently.
