What did I do? (Paypal)

I have both my card and bank account added to paypal, and up until yesterday if I paid for something, paypal would take it from my bank 3-5 days later.

I've been buying a few bits on ebay this weekend and have just noticed that everything is coming off my card (not a problem really, I prefer the payments to go instantly) instead of the bank funding. I also don't seem to have an option to change it back..

Have looked at both paypal and bank account and the dd is showing live on both, but I haven't a clue what I did to make that happen!

Any ideas?

Thanks

    When you go to check out there's usually a link to request alternative payment method.

    This will give you 3 options - instant bank transfer, registered card or e-cheque.

    (Although I have heard of cases where e-cheque was the only option offered in certain categories).

    Just tick the one you want to pay by.

    Hope this helps

    Thanks - it's odd as I don't seem to have an option to change it back.

    I'll try again tomorrow.
