PayPal Add Credit Card Tutorial

Advantages

There are a few primary reasons it is always recommended to add one or more credit cards to your PayPal account.

• Confirms your address with PayPal so that sellers are comfortable shipping to you without delay.
• Protects your credit card and billing details from websites / sellers that you purchase from.  PayPal never shares card details with merchants.  The only thing shared will be an email address and a shipping address (if necessary.)
• When you make purchases with PayPal you may choose to use the credit card as your funding source.  This provides an additional layer of protection because you can call your credit card company directly if you have a dispute.
