Transfer and Payment

[M-Rose1]

Hi, 

Can someone please explain what happened here? I will use an example that best describes the situation. 

My account had $0 available. $150 was then transferred from a friend into my Paypal account. After this, I was then able to pay for something worth exactly $150. But after paying for this, my account still says $150. How is this possible? Can someone please tell me what has happened and who this money belongs to so I know if I have to transfer anything back to my friend?

There are no other transactions in my history either than these. 

Thank you!

If you didn't mark your balance to be used as your preferred funding source then maybe paypal used the one that is?

Click on the profile tab (icon next to log out) > Click on payments third option along on the thick blue band top of page > second down click on update next to your preferred way to pay and put a dot in one of the options listed.
