I've added 100$ funds to my Nintendo eshop but can't seem to purchase the Membership & Expansion Pack with it, it only gives option of PayPal or Credit Card but not the eshop Funds? Do I need to change the city for it to work or am I toasted?

My Region is set on US Oregon

Did you try purchasing on the web variant of eShop/Nintendo Store? It's possible that on-console eShop and web variant behave differently in this regard.

The reason it is hiding your eShop funds is because Nintendo forces you to set up an automatic renewal payment method before it lets you check out. Once that fallback method is linked, you can choose to have the initial purchase money taken right out of your $100 balance.
You can also deactivate the auto renewal at any time after purchase.
