@PayPal_Olivia wrote: Hi everyone,   I see you're all first-time posters. Welcome to the forums!   The Instant Transfer option is available only when an account also has a valid credit card on file. If the card is expired or about to expire, the only bank funding option available would be eCheck. Additionally, eCheck is the only way to use the bank as funding when there is a balance on the PayPal account and the balance is not being used.   I would suggest checking to make sure that your credit card is valid and not about to expire. Then you can set up a payment to the person that you would like to pay, and see what the default funding source is set to be. I hope this helps!   Olivia Eureka!!!  This may be why my instant payments are only e-checks- My card expires next month. I figured I'd have to the exact date the card expired ... View more

Paypal payment now ask me to pay by credit card?

Up until tonight, whenever I've paid via Paypal, the payment would deduct any money I had in my paypal account. If my paypal account was low or empty, the payment would be outdated from my checking account the following day.   For some reason this has changed- I may have accidentally changed something when looking around my personal info- when I tried to pay for something by paypal tonight, it wouldn't let me-even though I had money in my paypal account.  it said my card wasn't good. Well, the card is good and valid, but a bit maxed out-but I NEVER pay by card.   I have money sitting in my paypal account- the payment should have deducted from that, as drawn the remaining $20 from my checking (which would post the next day). It has always been this way...   But now it seems the only way I'm allowed to pay is by e-check, which sellers hate, as it takes a week to clear. I have no open disputes. Why did this happen?   My card does expire next month, but I still have time. I did get an email asking for updated card info, but dismissed it as a Paypal spoof email. Maybe it was legit?   How do I fix this? ... View more
