Their "default" setting is always to take it out of your bank account.
Well, that is if you don't have existing funds on-account with them. I
never do ... if I get a payment via Paypal, I transfer it pretty quickly
into my bank.

I understand why they PREFER to use your bank account first ... no fees for
them to pay to CC companies, no risk of charge-back from the card ... but I
think MOST would prefer to default to CC. I've screwed up only twice (over
many years) where I actually paid via bank account, simply because I went
too quickly and forgot the manual step of specifying otherwise.
Fortunately, these were for small amounts, so I wasn't as bothered.

They do make it sound like there are BIG advantages to paying with your bank
account. This as they try and talk you out of switching to credit. I
wonder if some people believe them?
