How to Add a Credit Card to PayPal

The good news is that adding a card to your PayPal only takes a few steps and can be done in minutes. Though, you’ll need to physically have your card by your side first. If you’ve got credit with PayPal you’ll be able to use up your credit and then pay the rest of the balance with your credit card during checkout.

Tips and Tricks for Adding Credit Cards to PayPal

You can still transfer funds to your PayPal (from a linked bank account, that is) and use those funds in conjunction with or instead of a credit card. Also, be sure to remember that using a debit card to make a purchase on PayPal is different than linking the same checking account your debit card is attached to, though you can use both to pay. Once you’ve linked a card to PayPal, you’ll be ready to start buying, but you won’t be doing that directly on PayPal. So, you might want to consider linking your PayPal account to a service like eBay to start making use of it.
