    Not that i'm aware off. When you pay for something using paypal, it will always go to your bank for money first, and then a credit card if there is insufficient funds

    I always chose other options ....and pay by credit card . :D

    It will help me keep my finances straight, if I can do this !
  • if the OP cashes the monies in the paypal account, this will leave it with a zero balance.

    this will then mean when they do a purchase, their CC will be debited as paypal is empty.

    Of course you can, as long as you are using a CC attached to your account. The money you first transfer to your bank account will disappear immediately from PP, so they will charge your CC.
