overgeek Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Hi all!Whenever I try to buy a gig with PayPal it tries to charge the debit card that’s attached to my PayPal account instead of the balance that I have available.Is it possible to use my PayPal balance to buy gigs instead of it having to charge my debit card? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsachmusic Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 The PayPal balance is always used as the primary funding source. Maybe you have the PayPal balance in different currency and that’s why it is happening. This is a PayPal’s thing. You have to contact them to solve this thing.Try this:Disable the Pay After Delivery feature from your account is:Go to www.paypal.com and log in to your account.Click the Settings icon at the top of the page.Under ‘Payment settings’, beside ‘Payment preferences’, click Edit .Under ‘Paying after delivery is my preferred way to pay’, click Turn this option off .I hope this helps.SourceIf this doesn’t work, then contact PayPal customer support. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you have the “Pay with my balance” option selected and the correct currency chosen. If I recall correctly, PayPal didn’t let me make a purchase until I converted the currency to the one of the merchant from whom I was purchasing (this wasn’t on Fiverr). It may have been a bug, I don’t know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aveyntoh Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Hi! Sorry for necroing this thread but I’m experiencing the same issue right now. My Paypal has the required currency (USD) and it’s enough to cover the cost I need for the gig but for some weird reason, I don’t get the option to choose to pay using my Paypal balance. Instead, it forces me to use my card which is local and will cost me quite a bit in exchange fees.Any help is appreciated!Edit: Okay, I fixed it. Apparently, I need to remove the checkmark on “Remember for Future Payments” for the Paypal balance option to pop up 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odeybiiqey Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 hi everyone, i have a big problem. I don’t get the option to choose to pay using my Debit Card. Instead, it forces me to use PayPal (which i don't even use) I even removed the checkmark on “Remember for Future Payments” to see if that makes change but still the only option i have is PayPal. I'm stuck this problem almost 3 days and all the Fiverr instruction & guides are outdated and don't work at all. most instructions say "Go to Billing info" to change the payment option but the Billing info is all about address and doesn't include any payment options. this is a serious problem. something must be wrong with Fiverr. if someone can help me solve it, I would appreciate. thanks! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
