Can someone please help me?
I have a Paypal account with £60.00p credit in it and wish to buy an item from an internet retailer costing £75.00p. Will paypal automatically take my balance of my account and take the remaining £15.00p from my registered credit card.
Or do I have to transfer the £15.00p to my paypal account first if so how?

If you have a credit or debit card registered then it will be debited the £15 balance.0

Thank you do Paypal charge me for taking the £15.00p from my credit card?
The reason why I ask is I saw on the account website that transfers from a UK bank account to the account take 3-5 days and are free?0 -
Hi ya,
Paypal will always use the balance in your account first .....
Then you will be given the option of how you want to pay the remainder , either though your registered bank account or by the credit card that you have registered with them ..... Just make sure that you " tick " the credit card option....
You will not have to transfer any money to your paypal account ...

Your £15 doesn't count as a transfer, a transfer would be if you moved money to your PP account from your bank.
As I said, I very rarely have anything sitting in my PP account, payment is still instant when funds are taken from your bank/card etc.
And no charge.Move along, nothing to see.0 -

I 've never been charged by paypal for doing this ..... I pay by credit card most of the time .... ( I use a Visa credit card ) ....terri x
