I solved it. The PayPal balance didn't show up because it was in a different currency. Once it was converted manually from the website everything worked out just fine. Thanks for the replies, have a happy new year's eve! ... View more

@sharpiemarkerI am using a (verified) personal account. There is some setting related to the preferred payment method in myaccount/settings/payments but I am not able to change it. I am always using the website.   @Whac-A-MoleIt's a prepaid card, so if I try to surpass my limits the transaction is denied but only in wallet. As I explained above, in invoice it completed the necessary funds by adding money from the next available source . What is actually interesting is the fact that it only shows the credit/debit card in wallet as the single available choice when the available funds are HIGHER than the PayPal balance. In other cases, when the PayPal balance is higher than the remainder of the debit card, it shows the PayPal balance as the only choice, so it is really like PayPal knows how much I got in my card before I finalize the transaction. ...

Problem With PayPal Wallet

Hi,   I have faced this problem in two separate occasions. I want to purchase something by combining funds from my credit card and my PayPal balance. However, when I want to cmplete a purchase and I get redirected to PayPal Wallet I can only choose the credit card as a source for funding and, if the amount of money isn't enough,  the transaction just doesn't go through, without ever resorting to the use of my balance. The case is different when I get invoiced by somebody. Then, PayPal automatically add funds from the next available funding source to complete the transaction. The problem arises from the fact that (a) most big companies won't accept sending an invoice and require from you to complete your purchase through the automatic checkout system, (b) it is both time and money consuming, at least for someone in my area, to withdraw from my PayPal balance and then deposit the same amount to my credit/debit card, in order to have all my available funds concentrated in one funding source. Any insight on this situation will be deeply appreciated.   Best Wishes for the New Years Eve, Nick ... View more
