Paypal payments - how to change where from?

november

When I started paypal payments were made from my credit card. It then asked for my bank account - something to do with my reaching a limit? Since then payments have come from my bank account although I didn't do anything to change it.

My bank account is verified and I have verified my credit card with them. It doesn't say that though - the bank account is marked verified and the credit card details say nothing. Is that usual?

Both bank account and credit card are marked as 'primary'.

I prefer money to come from my credit card. If for no other reason than thats how I budget - I pay everything on one card and pay it off at the end of the month. I like having a month to pay for nothing!

How can I change it so that payment is made from my credit card? Would I have to delete/remove the bank account details? If so will this cause a problem that my credit card doesn't show as verified? Is there any reason why it may not be better to use payment by credit card - I normally only shop within the UK?

Many thanks to anyone that has answers

I'm not sure how to do it permanently, but when you go to pay for something, just before you click on Submit, there is an option (in small writing) called "more payment options", have a look in there and there should be an option.
This is what I read on Paypal when I was forced to add a bank account.

Thanks Phill. I was forced to add a bank account long ago so have obviously forgotton that if they told me at the time

A permanent change would be better though if possible ............ my memory being what it is :
