Need paypal help!! .... QUICK too! PLZ

[purbeast0]

Okay well I have a primary credit card associated with my paypal account, as well as a bank account linked to it. However when I go to pay, it ONLY allows me to select an echeck from my bank account. it does not let me choose the option to use my credit card. when i click on 'more funding options' it only takes me to select from a list of bank accounts, but since i only have one bank account there isn't more than the one option. Anyone who can help me use my CC with paypal? Thanks.

The 'more funding options' should bring up your CC as a payment option. Go into your profile and make sure you have a current/valid card on file.

Call PayPal or email them?

Hi purbeast0,


You could be running into a risk model denying the specific transaction. It is just a guess based on the post.


Choice of Funding Sources. PayPal reserves the right to limit an account-holder's choice of funding sources for any individual payment based on analysis performed through proprietary risk modeling systems. When PayPal decides to limit funding source choices, the account holder will be alerted to the higher-than-normal level of risk associated with the payment. If PayPal determines that there is a higher-than-normal level of risk, this is not an indication that either party in the transaction is acting in a dishonest or fraudulent manner; it is merely an indication that the combination of variables in the transaction has alerted PayPal that the potential for payment repudiation is unacceptable. The account-holder may choose to continue with the transaction using the available funding sources (if any), with the understanding that he or she may be accepting an additional level of transactional risk. Thus, the account holder may have fewer avenues available for dispute resolution should the transaction turn out to be unsatisfactory. For more information about protecting yourself from the risks associated with online transactions, please visit PayPal's Security Center.
