only can send money using checkings acct
 

I was trying to buy some things on ebay and it only allows me to use echeck so I removed my checking account and it still doesnt allow me to use my credit card it says I must fund my paypal account whats going on i'm sick of paypal I don't wanna use my checking account to buy stuff thats why I have a credit card to buy stuff when I don't have all the money and I just pay my cards off at the end of the month so I wanna know how can I buy stuff with my credit card

When you are doing your checkout for a purchase, you must manually change your funding source. It defaults to Paypal first, Bank second, and Card last. You simply click the link (they don't make it very obvious, so look carefully) to change the funding source, choose your credit card, confirm that or hit ok or whatever is appropriate. Proceed from there.

I tried to but all it only allows me to select echeck . Instant transfer and Credit card can't be selected .

My next suggestion is that your card expired and you need to update that. Or the prepaid or VCC has perhaps been blacklisted.

I use a prepaid card and then added my amex card and still doesnt work

My last idea: by some undocumented fluke, your recipient will ONLY accept an echeck. I have no idea how that could be possible.

Beyond that, I'm at a loss. Unless somebody else has any ideas, you'll have to call or email Paypal.
