Since I cannot find a straight answer online, I've decided to come here.
I've recently transferred the appropriate amount of money with the intent to purchase Minecraft, as I was tired of pirating it. After the waiting period of 6 days, today the funds were availible. However, when I created a Minecraft account and went to pay, it did not give me an option to use my Paypal Balance. Instead, it wished me to directly link a Credit Card.
And yes, my information is up to date. I have tried many times to no avail.
Is there anyway to use my balance ($28.00 CAD) to purchase Minecraft? I would hate to have to pirate it.
Additional information:
TL;DR - How does one buy Minecraft with their Paypal Balance?
EDIT:
Worked, fixed, done, overwith etc.
I don't know how these forums work. Do mods close threads? Delete them? I don't know. I don't care.
To anyone else experiencing a problem similar to this, make sure you have the right amount of money according to Paypal. You may think you have enough, but you probably don't.

I see no Paypal option, nor does it change my current predicament.
When I log into Paypal after clicking "Continue with Purchase", It gives me two options.
1. Link a debit or Credit Card.
And the various information required to do so (Bank number, Payment type, Expiration date etc.)
2. Add money from your bank account
Here it uses my already confirmed debit account. It will take 6-8 buisness days.
However, at the top op the Paypal Prompt it says -
"This merchant doesn't accept non-instant bank payments. To continue with this purchase, please link a card to your PayPal account."
I have enough money in my Paypal Account. I've waited the 6-8 Buisness days. What the hell?
Anyone care to help?
Sorry but I havent never expirenced something like this. Sorry - you should ask someone else
Since Paypal is some special kind of stupid, its Currency Converter drastically varies from every other online Currency coverter in existence.
$28 CAD to Euro's normally? €20.30
$28 CAD to Euro's Paypal style? €19.87
I'm less than 0.1 Euro off.
Does this make sence? Paypal doens't give me the option to use my balance unless I have enough?
EDIT: Worked. Damnable Paypal.
Thanks for... everyone's... help. Sorry for wasting your time, Mr.Pylo.
Cheers.
