I’m trying to buy a Plex pass for 3months, and I want to use my PayPal Balance not my CC, is there a way to do it? When I go to the paypal option it always displays my CC, and I want it to be deducted from my paypal balance. Thanks! ---

Did you ever figure this out? I would love to do the same. ---

Just incase anyone else experiences this. Turns out that although you need a credit card on file, when the payment gets made, paypal will take a paypal balance first and then charge the card. It isn’t very clear when going through the steps. ---

Sorry there wasn’t an answer here. As you found out, yes, you can use your PayPal balance to pay for Plex Pass. PayPal has a policy that when paying for a recurring service (like Plex Pass) you need to have a credit card on file as a back up. Unfortunately there is nothing Plex can do to change this. If you, or anybody, ever has a question on billing and don’t get an answer in the forum, please visit [https://www.plex.tv/contact/](https://www.plex.tv/contact/), select Plex Pass Billing from the drop down, and ask your question. Someone will get back to you typically within 24 hrs. ---

This is the correct answer even though I selected a card to pay, paypal took the paypal balance first (buying lifetime) ---

That was it indeed, I was very confused why only card payment was appearing, but yeah in the end PP takes the money from the balance we have there and not the card/bank. ---
