Netflix Payment

Hi all

 

Just wondering if I am missing something on PayPal when trying to setup my Netflix account, I click on the Pay with PayPal option (on Netflix site) then it asks me to login on PayPal which I do, but then it asks me to setup a Debit/Credit card payment. I don't understand this as I only want to pay using my PayPal account.

 

Thanks

You have to have a funding source for a subscription to be sent up, you can't use funds in your paypal balance as when the subscription is due the company like to know the payment transfer is pretty certain which you can't from a balance.

Thanks, so correct me if I'm wrong, but then should I be able to setup a funding source, I can then switch Netflix payment options to my PayPal account then on Netflix?

Sorry bit confused, did you mean that you were prompted to add a funding source ie bank account or card to your ''Paypal account'' before you can set up a subscription OR did you mean that they didn't offer you Paypal at all but a card or bank account as a replacement subscription option?

To setup my Netflix account I had cards as an option, below that was PayPal, but when I clicked on PayPal, PayPal asked me to sign in and the next thing I was prompted to do was add debit/credit card details.

ok so do you have any cards or bank accounts linked to your paypal account?

If not then yes you would have to add them to use to fund your paypal payments to Netflix.

You won't be able to use funds 'in your paypal balance'.
