How to transfer my paypal credit to pay it off.

Hi I'm looking to pay off my paypal credit, does anyone know how I would go about this am I able to get a 0% balance transfer card? I've never used one before and unsure if I took one out that it would allow me to pay the credit off?
Thanks.

  • Not sure if you can balance transfer Paypal credit. A money transfer card might be your best option.
    Info from MSE here: https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/credit-cards/money-transfers/
  • Thankyou!, silly question to some but I'm afraid I've never used one is it abit like a credit card? 
  • It is a credit card, which you then use to make a money transfer to your bank and then pay off the PayPal. However there will be a fee for this, so factor it in.

    It's obviously imperative you then pay it off before the 0% interest period ends and not run up any more debt on the card or PayPal. Do you have any budget questions for everyone here to help you stay out of debt going forward?
