Hi all,
I don't currently have a UK bank account and just want to use PayPal as a wallet. My friend transferred me 100 and i want to spend that online, but when i go to checkout paypal requests that i add a card. I can't just use my balance? I've tried changing the settings but still no luck.
Cheers
Lawrence

You can use funds in your paypal balance 'as long as' they are in the correct currency and not pending.
BUT for some transactions ie digital / virtual or higher risk AND at 'some point' anyway Paypal will ask you to add a card / bank account to act as a back up funding source and to verify your Paypal account.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.
