I've been using eBay and PayPal for months now with no issues. I purchase something from eBay, click pay now, log into my paypal (only debit card is connected to my paypal) then confirm order. Usually I only have a few dollars as my actual paypal balance. So I always assume my purchase gets taken directly from my bank account and not my paypal balance. OK, good, I've been doing this with no problems. Until the other day. I have 68cents in my paypal account. I tried to pay for my purchase which was $1.99. Paypal said there's a problem and I have to enter my credit card info. I do not own a credit card. The error message I get is "To pay for this purchase right now, link a credit card to your PayPal account.". I never had this message before. So now this person is waiting for my payment and I may get a bad rating because of it. What is the problem??? Do I actually have to 'Add Funds" to my pay pal (which will take days) and THEN complete my purchase once the funds are there? I never had to do that before!! Would it possibly be because I got a new bank card? I can't remember what info I had to put in whe nI added my debit card. My bank account number stayed the same, I just got a new card. PLEASE HELP! This person is waiting and I'm getting very impatient.
