Why are my PayPal funds not being withdrawn?

## PayPal Taking Money From My Bank Instead of Balance – What’s Going On?

I’ve been using PayPal for years now and generally, I rely on my PayPal balance to cover transactions first. It’s a convenient way to manage my finances and avoid constantly linking my bank account.

However, recently, something strange has been happening.

**Instead of using my PayPal balance, payments are being automatically drawn from my linked bank account!** This has never happened before and I’m starting to worry.

Has anyone else encountered this issue?

**Here are a few questions I have:**

* **Is there a setting I accidentally changed that’s causing this behavior?**
* **Could it be a problem with a specific transaction or merchant?**
* **Is there something going on with my PayPal account that I should be aware of?**

Any information or insights you can share would be greatly appreciated. I’d rather not have my bank account drained unnecessarily! Hopefully, someone else has experienced this before and can offer solutions. Let me know in the comments below!
