I too have done it anywhere from 500-1000 times, so yes, it becomes automatic. However, this automatic programming you seem so content with, can lead me to accidentaly pay by bank account when I encounter a non-standard version of PayPal's interface on a less popular site. It's that 1 in 100 error, and the resultant overdraft fee, that reminds me how much I dispise PayPal's treatment of their customers. I'm just wondering how many other users must emplore PayPal to implement this feature before they'll finally listen?

Hi For months or years I allow this gripe to go unvoiced, until I get stung with an overdraft fee because PayPal has pulled funds from my bank account, rather than my desired credit card. So I ask again, even though I know the answer - please can we set credit card as the default payment method? Don't act like you can't. It's an unethical business choice you've made to get a double dip on fees, because your fees are set (and marketed) on the expectation that a credit card is going to be used to make payment. It makes the customer experience horrible, especially given all the misleading ways you've altered the login/payment process over the years to try and make us accidentaly pay by bank account. You will lose all your customers in a heartbeat the moment another (non credit card) payment method reaches ubiquity. The separation from eBay is the first indication this is not far away. Sam
