when I pay someone thru Paypal it automatically takes the funds from my bank account instead of the credit card listed on file.

How do I get it to take funds from the credit card instead?

Cheers,

Go to your PayPal account, then into your profile, then financial information, and you should be able to add your credit card and then select it as your "primary" account.

Also, when using Paypal, read each page carefully. On one, (sorry, can't remember which), there is a small blue print near the bottom which is "Other funding options".

Click it, and it takes you to a page where you can opt for bank or c/c.

Then it'll ask you to confirm, telling you all the reasons for using bank.
Just click on YES, (use c/c), and away you go.

The credit card is already my 'primary' account. I am now going thru the Expanded use program where I should be able to use the card for backup funding.

The choosing card or bank option is only for preapproved payments, not when I send funds.

No it's not - I regularly send funds (in $ as well!) via my CC

I just use "Other funding options" as described above.

$ to £ rate isn't toooo bad and it's the equivalent of borrowing cash on your credit card without paying instant CC interest
