Greg,
 
Actually, it's kind of funny -- PayPal's defaults have always been arbitrary, but when they started out they defaulted to using your credit card *first* -- I used to have to fight with their system to get it to pay with my cash balance. Now they seem to have done a complete reversal of policy and are discouraging using the credit card as the first choice (perhaps because they are now starting to pay interest on cash balances?).

Subject: Re: [MOPO] Paypal Question

Thanks to all for the replies to my Paypal question about the lack of a
credit card option under certain circumstances. I THOUGHT that, in the
past, one was able to opt for the use of a credit card to pay for items
regardless of how much was in your Paypal account, but I obviously that
has changed. (I love the "Are you absolutely SURE you want to use that
nasty old credit card?" window that pops up when you do choose the card
option. Very subtle, Paypal.) It seemed to me as well that the Paypal
default settings were becoming a little arbitrary, but with my memory,
who knows?
