So, I guess it is about getting used to the “new system” (aka we’d like to keep your money and earn interest ourselves). What happened was postage and an item bought wiped out the credit, wit out me realising that I’d only paid the balance by PayPal, not the whole amount. This is terribly confusing as a new approach and much less obvious. I’ve given feedback that I don’t like the eBay balance system and would like the old way of moneys in and out, which is much easier to keep track of. So, problem solved BUT the problem was caused by the change. Ringing the eBay helpline for a callback - thank you preseason! - the customer support person said they are getting a LOT of confused callers complaining
