dumb paypal question

[Macman]

Cloves, this has happened to me. I got a refund, and the Paypal account was credited. Then later I bought something that cost more than my Paypal credit amount. The Paypal credit gets used up first, then you put the difference on your credit card or whatever account you choose, just like a regular purchase.

You can specify during checkout how you want the money pulled. Look for the "Source of Funds" dropdown menu. You can have it pulled from your PayPal balance, your linked bank account or your linked credit card.
