can I switch payment methods after I have purchased something?

I meant to pay with "Bill Me Later" and used my checking account instead.  The status of the order is still listed as "Pending" so I'm hoping i can switch payment types.  Is this possible and does anyone know how to do it?  Thanks for your help! 🙂

Hi smustysgirl,

 

Welcome to the community! 🙂

 

Changing the payment method for a transaction after it's been initiated is currently not possible with PayPal (even for pending orders).  The seller would need to refund the payment (or void the order) and then you would send a new payment with the correct account.

 

Although it's not currently possible, we recognize what an amazing feature that would be. You can learn more about our vision for PayPal's future here:
