How Do I Change The Payment Card Used For Offers And Auctions?

[teelas_treasure_trove]

Hi,

I have two debit cards registered on eBay, one for business purchases and one for personal purchases. eBay has now started charging my personal card automatically for auction wins and best offers. Please can someone tell me how to change the default payment card for auctions and best offers so that I can change the default card before hopefully winning an auction or having an offer accepted?

Thanks,

Joe

@teelas_treasure_trove,

Given that you are a long time member you presumably  have a PayPal account.  If you registered it as your payment method you can switch between the cards you use for business and personal purchases. 

eBay has stopped requiring auto pay for auctions, at least here in the U.S. the ebay site you have posted on (ebay.com). It is still used for Offers however.   How you can change payment methods in the U.K. may differ from how we do it here, so your best bet would be to post your question on the U.K. site's community. Use the link below to get redirected back to your home site.

OK, thanks for the help.

For those transactions (Best Offers  mostly, eBay is once again experimenting with it with a test group of buyers for auction bids)  where you are required to pre-authorize automatic payment, you select the payment source WHEN YOU MAKE THE BID/OFFER.   There is a "Change" link on the confirmation form for each of payment options and shipping options (e.g. your shipping address).   Once you have confirmed the offer/bid (including the payment/shipping options) it is too late to change it after that.
