how do I make a new credit card my primary source of funds with my Paypal account?

Question

I want to put a new credit card as the primary source of funds from my Paypal account, so when I buy something from Ebay the purchase goes on my credit card and not my bank account.

Answer 1

The Paypal funding hierarchy has always been very confusing to me.
They don't ever state it clearly but I think the deal is that they don't want a credit card to be your primary.
I assume that it's because a credit card carries with it the 2% fee and therefore every transaction on a card would cost them 2%.
So they allow a credit card as secondary just in case there is not enough in your bank account.
What I do is use my Paypal as a savings account, it pays over 5% and I always have money to buy something directly from my Paypal account.

Answer 2

Huh? Sorry, but why would you want some random person providing partial information, when you could go to PayPal and find out exactly what to do?
I do think they like to have checking accounts, not credit cards.
