Can you pay with visa only or do you have to link to a bank account??

I want send some one money for something I am purchasing off them. I have my credit card info on my account but it is asking for my bank information!! Can I send some one money like with my visa?or is the only way I can send money is by linking my bank account? If the visa thing works then dosn't it just end up on your visa bill?

I'm pretty sure you can only use pay pal balance or bank account to fund "gift" money, or send for personal. Or so I was told. If you claim it as "goods" or services you should be able to, or to pay an invoice.

Hi deena123304, and welcome to the PayPal Community! 🙂

You can use your credit card to send a personal payment. If you use your bank account or PayPal balance, there is no fee. If you use a credit card, there is a fee of 2.9% +$0.30 CAD. The page was likely prompting you with an opportunity to use a fee-free alternative for sending the payment. 🙂

Have you tried again since your original post? Please let us know how it worked out!
