Pay Pal Question

[6709travis]

Hi,

When I purchase items on ebay, I always pay with pay pal, and it always takes it off my credit card.  I just went in to view my credit card statement and there was no payment taken out, but when I went to my savings account, paypal had direct debited it from there.  How has this happened as it has never happened before, and how has pay pal obtained my normal banking details??? 

Any help would be appreciated.

Ok, so I now know that paypal has my normal account details as this is where it deposits any sales I may have had, but why is it starting to take money out of my normal savings account and not my credit card???

You need to go into your PayPal account and change your primary payment method to your creditcard if that's how you wish to pay for your purchases because your bank account is your primary payment method.

Thanks for your reply Zelly.  I'm still left wondering why it changed itself to use my savings account instead of my credit card if I haven't changed anything?  But I will go in and see if I can change it to how you said.

All I can think of is that if there is unsufficient funds in one then they take from the other?
