Preferred funding method isn't available

Help.  I need to send money to two different people and it keeps giving me the message of Preferred Funding Method Isn't Available.  I have $100 in the balance and it won't let me send it.  I have tried all of the options that Customer Service has sent me and nothing works.  How do I pay people?   I have read some of the messages relating to this but I am not seeing an answer that works.   Any thoughts?   Thanks ...
