i just made a paypal account, how do i put money in the balance from a credit card

You have to update your account information to link PayPal to that credit card. Then use PayPal to send money and it will transfer automatically if the PayPal account balance is less than that amount.

you dont put money from a credit card it auto pulls it..... think of it like when you buy from the store and slide your card..... it pulls the money its the same thing but with the computer and paypal the middle man not visa or what ever.

so if i wanna buy some snails, ill go to send money, put in the persons email and the amount im sending, and it will do the rest?

Me? No, I doubt that very much. I'm much better at over-explaining things to death. lol. Thankfully, Mgamer took care of that part.

Here's how to set up the credit card link or to draw funds direct from your bank. You have to link the card first...then send money.

Go to the main page at PayPal. The Account Overview Screen > click on Profile > there it gives you the two choices so you can link your account too a bank or credit card.

once you link a credit card, or bank account, when you use paypal to make a purchase it draws from that account. you dont have to keep a balance in Paypal, paypal will draw funds from your bank, or credit card account..

Exactly, currently my "paypal" balance is $0.00

everything is drawn directly from a bank account through my debit card.
