I have no idea if what you say is true now. It wasn't six months ago. I
had quite a fight with PayPal over that, which I lost. If you had
sufficient funds in your PayPal account the Credit card option was
blanked out, however you could still select to have the funds taken
directly from your bank account. I only discovered that after I had
committed to buy on an eBay auction. Now I know better. In another way
they lost, because they can no longer collect interest on my money
sitting in their account.

That's not correct. You have to hit the option for "more funding
services" and add a credit card for purpose of funding payments. It's
twisty because they want you to use your Paypal.com funds, or direct
banking funds, but the option is there and can be used.
I've done this many times with Paypal having standing funds, although I
generally try not to keep money in Paypal.com's hands too long.
