Hi.
Does anyone know why this happens?
On my Paypal, I have 7 different credit cards.
I also have $20 in my Paypal Balance.
I tried to buy a $40 item from a website.
1) When I tried to pay with my Preferred card, I could buy with the entire $20 from my balance and the rest from my credit Preferred card for the other $20. Good, but I didn't have enough money in this card.
2) When I swapped the credit card to another card at the Paypal checkout, I had to pay then entire $40 from my credit card balance. There was no way to do a split payment.
Any ideas why?
This other card in 2) above was a "verified" card that I verified earlier. Does this matter?
I think if you choose a different card at checkout it won't let you choose your partial Paypal balance as an option anymore. Since you picked a specific card, Paypal must assume you want to charge the entire amount there instead.
