How do I make my PayPal Cashback Mastercard, eBay Extras Mastercard, PayPal Extras Mastercard, PayPal Credit Card, PayPal Credit digital line, or Smart Connect my preferred payment source?

Here’s how to change your preferred payment method:

  1. Go to Account settings.
  2. Click Money, banks and cards on the left side.
  3. Select your preferred payment method.
  4. Click Confirm.
  5. Click Done.

The preferred payment method will apply when you check out with PayPal at merchants and when you send payments for items and services from your PayPal account. You can change this setting anytime.

The preferred payment method will affect existing automatic payments if you haven’t assigned a specific way to pay for those automatic payments. Please review them if you want to adjust the payment method.
