When I opened my PayPal account I used a credit card as a primary source of funding... no problem. I read a topic stating this was not possible anymore, I understand, HOWEVER, I have my bank account as my primary source, with my credit card as "backup funding." I barely ever have a balance on the bank account linked to paypal, and I always assumed, since PP states "if you do not have sufficient funds, the amount will be deducted from your backup source" or something to that effect. Which is perfect and I took as a given, yet, today I got a notice that reads: "You recently attempted to transfer funds from your bank account. Your bank has declined the funds transfer because your account did not have sufficient funds available. We will automatically re-attempt this transfer in 3 business days. Please fund your bank account immediately to ensure this transaction can be completed." WHAT IS THE MEANING OF BACKUP SOURCE? I HAVE ONE. My credit card has an available balance, and now my bank is charging me a fee that I could REALLY do without because of this returned payment. I believe this happened to me once before and I re-submitted my settings thinking it could have been a system (or my own) error. They are in order: my bank is my primary source, my credit card, the secondary. I would not attempt to make payments if I thought, much less, KNEW they would be declined. Please help.
