Hello, @Akosanchez. I certainly understand how charges being sent to a bank account instead of a card would pose a concern. The likely explanation is that your payments to Google are going through a Pre-Approved Payment (such as a Billing Agreement or Subscription), but the preferred payment method you mentioned does not apply to Pre-Approved Payments. I'm sorry for any misunderstanding.
As you mentioned, your preferred payment method is for online purchases. That includes purchases that are completed via a merchant's website. Pre-Approved Payments don't fall into that category, however. Pre-Approved Payments such as Billing Agreements need to have a preferred payment method set for each one. Please check out https://www.paypal.com/smarthelp/article/faq1054 for more information on this topic.
I hope this is helpful. Thanks for your patience during this time.
Sincerely,
Michael
