What does MAKE PRIMARY mean to you?

If I am able to have the option of making my CC THE PRIMARY source of payment WHY THE **bleep** CAN'T I USE IT? This has happened twice. The only options I have are my Paypal or my bank. I need to keep my bank on the hierachy so I can transfer funds...That's it! I don't want to use my Paypal because I need to track the income....So why can't I use my CC. It is the original source of payment that I had when I opened my account. I am now using MORE SERVICES but am getting LESS OPPTIONS. Please let us have the option to go back to a simpler time when primary meant primary and if we want an option to change our payment method let US decide to choose it. It can't be that hard. This was posted to a similar question, does it really say you can change it ONE TIME! If it can be done once let US do it until WE change OUR payment methods.   The following was a reply by PAY_PAL ANDY    J-Mac-  I can understand your frustration with this, but we do have a funding hierarchy when it comes to making a payment.  We will always use your PayPal balance first, then your bank, then your card.  But, with the exemption of the balance, you can change that for ONE PURCHASE to go to the card instead of the bank.  On the payment review page, you'll have a link that says 'Change' right below your funding source and from that you can change to your credit card.     ...
