I followed the link and it said the article does not exist or was removed. I finally got it activated after they sent me instructions. I really don't know how I would have found those on the PayPal page that comes up on my PC. Worst time ever ever activating a card!

Absolute worst experience I have ever had to try and activate a card. I see nowhere on PayPal.com where I can do that. I tried the phone number and the voice could never hear my expiration date, even after yelling into the phone.

Not auto payments, I never do that. It happened when I made a purchase, that it took my cash balance, then charged the rest to a card I have on file. I solved the problem by never leaving a cash balance in PayPal.

So agree, way too easy to take your balance. Almost anything else you need to double verify before it happens. I try not to have a balance.

There should be a way to protect cash from auto payments. It was nice to have a little cash in the account to use it for what I decided to use it for, not for automatic payment. Inconvenient, but from now on I will make sure there is no cash in the account.

I know I have a credit card selected as preferred payment, but apparently it took the balance first. My fault for not looking carefully, but there should be a way to set my credit card as default only and that you would need to make a choice to use the balance. Don't worry, I will not let a balance in PayPal again!

Exactly where is that located. I could not seem to find it. If this is something you do each time you pay, I know how to do that. But when I don't think about it PayPal automatically thinks I want to use my balance. Can I set a default to make it use my credit card each time?

It is far too easy to use my cash balance towards a credit card purchase. It has happened several times to me. How can I make it harder for that to happen. Can I set the default NOT to use my balance? If I can, how do I do that?
