So I had PayPal funds I also wanted to use instead of a card, but it wasn’t an option. So while I was going to pay with the card, a pop up appeared and asked me to give permission to wish to to make a payment from my credit card and after that it said, if the card had unavailable funds the Payment would be taken off of my PayPal balance. So before I completed the payment I realized I had a pre paid visa gift card in my PayPal wallet with no funds on it, so I figured I’d make that my source of payment for the purchase to see if it would automatically use my PayPal balance, well it worked. The card had no funds on it so the purchase was paid for with my PayPal balance. So maybe if u have a pre paid credit or gift card with no funds on it you could add it to your wallet and use your PayPal balance this way or maybe even an expired credit card would do the trick. It’s ridiculous that you just can chose it as a payment option in the first place but this worked for me.
