How do I transfer money from my credit card to my PayPal balance?

[Helpthisuser]

I've recently linked my credit card and verified it, when I click on my PayPal balance I only get the option to transfer money out from my PayPal balance but no option to transfer my money into my PayPal account. Looking forward to your replies, Fadi

Sadly you can't add funds to a paypal balance via a card + you can't do so at all in a lot of countries.

However you never need funds in your Paypal account balance as a buyer. When you purchase an item then Paypal credit the seller for you, this is so there is no delay in the despatch of your item. Paypal will then take the wait for the funds to automatically transfer to reimburse them from your linked funding source.
