That's why PayPal always defaults to the "money from checking account" option and you must go back and adjust it for each transaction to "payment from a credit charge". The trouble is you sometimes forget to reset the option when you go to make a payment. I figured this one out a long time ago. FRANC

Today, I was trying to pay for an EBAY item and they cleverly moved the MORE FUNDING OPTIONS button once again causing me to accidentally pay through my checking account. This is the kind of sleazy stuff that is done by disreputable outfits, not by major companies. EBAY/PAYPAL is getting sleazier! I may consider filing a complaint with AMEX about what Paypal is doing on the site.
