    Ok, I have a stupid question.

    I set up a paypal account. How can I fund the account with a credit card? I only see a way to fund it with my checking account.

    You can fund it by check as well with a credit card but must be visa or master they dont discover! Maybe in prefrences to add card not sure havent used them in a while.

    Okay, underneath "instant transfer" yhere is a link -it will say "other payment options" - if it doesn't say that then you don't have any cards registered yet, and you have to add a credit card. You do that at another page. I am actually sending some money, so hold on til I finish and I'll tell you where to add a card.

    I have two cards I have added.

    I don't see an "instant transfer" link anywhere.
    Maybe this is because the verification of my checking account is not complete?

    Now, to add a card

    up at the top click on "profile"
    in the list of links on the left hand side click on "credit card"
    click on "add"
    ....yours may be different, I already have cards registered, but you will see it.

    I don't know about that - I did mine so long ago I can't remember. Seems to me it allowed a small transaction prior to verifying, then you limit was raised after they verified it. Have you entered the information on the first page and then gone to the second page - that is where it would be.

    yes. paypal charges me 2.3% + .30 cents per transaction. However if i use my paypal mastercard debit card to Buy something using the funds available, i get 1.5% cash back reducing the effective transaction fee to .8% + .30 cents, which is extremely good for credit card merchant processing imo..

    No fees on the personal account.
