Removing PayPal Credit as payment source

[thepurpleblob]

I recently bought an item from Apple using PayPal credit, without fully realising what PayPal credit was. It was only a few weeks later that I realised that all subsequent eBay purchases had been added to the credit balance. I was really annoyed as this was a complete surprise. 

I now want to stop any further payments being added to the credit account. How can I do this? There doesn't seem to be any way of removing PayPal credit as a funding source once you have it. 

I also (an eBay question really) cannot see any way in eBay of making my credit card the default funding source (although I can change it for every transaction). 

Currently feeling rather like I've been tricked by PayPal 😞

Ahh... I've just bought something from Apple with PayPal credit also, I didn't realise it did this!

Please respond PayPal.

I'm having the exact same problem. I bought something from Apple yesterday and opted for the paypal credit. I thought it was only to do with my apple purchase. I'm feeling tricked as well as Idon't want to use 'paypal' credit for any other purchases 😞

Having the exact same problem. Although I purchased my iPhone 4 days ago, bought some clothes amounting to £31 so now the phone order has not gone through as the credit amount is not enough.

I have paid the £31 as a payment to credit, waiting for it to go in so my iphone order can go through.

I am so tempted to cancel the whole thing but not sure I can now as the credit has all gone through for the amount.

Feel like now I must make sure I do not pay via paypal for anything until the credit is all paid off, what a bummer.

Trickery.
