Payment Method Used for My Transaction. Selecting a preferred payment method Paying online If you have chosen an online preferred payment method, it will be shown as the primary method of payment. We'll process payments for goods or services made online using your preferred payment method or an available payment method you choose for a particular transaction during checkout. We'll process payments to friends and family using an available payment method you choose for the transaction. In-store and Automatic Payments If you have chosen a preferred payment method for in store transactions or for automatic payments, we'll process the payment using: • any PayPal balance you hold in the currency of the payment; then • your preferred payment method or an available payment method you choose for any remaining amount.

Backup payment method Certain one-time online transactions may require that a backup funding method be used in the event that your selected or preferred payment method has expired or declined.

If PayPal determines currency conversion is necessary for a transaction that also requires a backup payment method, you may not be able to separately choose whether PayPal or your card issuer performs the currency conversion on your backup payment method.

Remember, you always have the choice to select any payment method in your account by clicking the “Change” link on the Send Money page. We will always show you if there is a fee and how much the fee is before you send money.
