Hello @friendlyfire,
Welcome to the PayPal Community!
I'm sorry you're having trouble making a purchase. If your balance is not showing as an option when you're checking out, you may be running into our Security System. Our Security System reviews each transaction. If it detects higher than average risk, it may limit what payment methods are available. When logging into your account, I recommend using a consistent device with your location services turned on. You may also want to allow 48 hours between payment attempts. If your balance still doesn't show as an option, please contact Customer Support by clicking 'Contact' at the bottom of any PayPal page. Support is also available if you send a DM to @AskPayPal on Twitter or a PM to facebook.com/PayPal.
I hope you can make the payment soon!
