Paypal
Purchases Default to Credit Card Instead of Bank Account

Business & Finance

Apparently, sometime in the recent past PayPal has changed its system to default to its credit card for purchases instead of withdrawing funds from your bank account. There does not seem to be any obvious way to change this default. The information telling you where the money is coming from is in small type and not in a part of the page that you would notice what is being done to you.

Of course, this probably only applies to people who have the PayPal buyer credit, but I feel it is a deceitful attempt to rack up charges at 20% interest and is being done on purpose. Apparently there is now some kind of three-day lag on funds taken out of your checking account. I do not care what you say, this is done purposely and with deceit.
