    I have US$5 in my paypal account,and i need to send US$100 to someone. Now when I click on "send money" it uses the money in my account. I already have my credit card added to my account and my account is verified. When i send the money should I just type in US$100 and then will paypal see I don't have $100 in my account,then will it use my credit card instead?

    It will take the $5 and charge your credit card for $95.

    Contact Paypal and find out. I have no problem funding from my credit card.

    By the way, check to see if the credit card expiry date is still valid.

    What Orien said is true. Plus, what I'd do is put a buy it button for $100 on your site, and would type in your credit card there. That works also.

    Hi,

    Paypal customer service may be available to help you sort this one out.

    Do you have their number? I bet their website would have some contact info.
