Greetings,
I made a paypal payment via an automatic payment from a credit union account. The payment was confirmed.
The credit union account had insufficent funds and I got an email message from paypal telling me. They asked me to fund the account. However, this account is out of state and I can not do that.
I want to change the funding source to a credit card.
How do I do this?
Thanks,

You can't change the funding source after the payment has been initiated. If that payment has a backup funding source, PayPal will use it after the primary funding source (your credit union account) fails twice.
Otherwise, send a new payment with a funding source which has sufficient funds.

i just initiated an instant transfer and had the wrong funding account, which does not have enough money for this transaction. Will it default to the "back-up" funding source? Is there additional fees????

Yeah, the same thing happened to me. PayPal stated I was SOL. So now I am stuck with a 60 dollar charge at the credit union. I am making a complaint to EBAY about Paypal. I have no plans to use paypal in the future and if this means I cannot purchase something on Ebay, oh well.

So, YOU messed up and you want to blame Paypal.
Bye, bye.

That was not my post you replied to. I am not blaming Paypal. Are there any fees associated with an NSF primary source and having to use backup? Read a little closer to my post, not his...

Yes, I know it wasn't your post - that's why I quoted HIS post.
There are no fees from Paypal, at least. They'll just try the echeck again.
