How can I change the default payment methods for P...

I have an empty bank account that I have linked on PayPal in order to transfer money from my eBay sales into my bank. I have my card set as the default funding source, and then my bank account.   Why then, does it try and take money from my bank account first!?!   It's annoying, wastes time, and ends up being on PayPal as I don't have money in that account and by the time PayPal tries to take it and use my card instead I don't have money on my card and the PayPal payment is either reversed or my account goes to a negative (which I don't care about because I don't use PayPal that much and can pay when I do have the money [which I did at the time of payment!]).   Luckily my bank account doesn't charge to bounce the failed PayPal payments, but please PayPal, stop assuming that everyone wants to pay with their bank account. ...

Are you sure you used the correct email address on eBay to receive payment in PayPal. Sounds like to me you didn't and the money has gone to someone else's account.   In any case you need to contact eBay ASAP and get them to reverse the buyer's payment (if you cancel it yourself, the whole transaction is cancelled and the buyer must approve it, which takes time). ...

Re: Cross border fee confusion

It'll cost nothing as long as you send as Friends and Family (which you should as they're family, not a business). Fees only apply if you're paying for a product or service (and the business pays, not you).   The only thing likely to happen if it's a significantly large amount (excess of €10,000 or equivilent currency) is that the transaction will be put on hold pending manual review by PayPal, as mandated by anti-money-laundering regulations. ...
