I make a lot of purchases with Microsoft and I have PayPal Credit set as my preferred payment method both on my account overall and also on Microsoft specifically.

I tried to email support with PayPal and only received guides on linking my credit account to my PayPal, not even close to what I asked. I then tried calling and after stumbling through the automated menus I finally spoke with a person.

I tried to explain they were one time purchases but they only argued they were not, after getting frustrated with that I hung up and now I'm here.
