Paying with Credit Card (Paypal)

Hi, I want to use a cashback card to buy things on ebay. I will set up my card as the only option on PP. Will this be an instant payment i.e. will the buyer receive the money straight away in their PP account? Or does it take a few days?

I don't want to annoy sellers by saying I have sent payment, but it will take x number of days to clear.

Thanks

    Payment via your credit card is instant.
    What is happening to the English Language? These are not isolated, but repeated every day.
    'Definate', 'Aswell', 'Rediculous', 'Payed'...and the best of all 'Could Of'. How can anyone think that 'Could Of' can actually mean anything. You may as well write 'Could Zebra' for all the sense it makes.

    Just be careful though as it probably won't count for cashback purposes as a purchase. You'd need to ask on the credit card board.

    Mine does. Those extra 1p in the £ come in very handy when I pay for just about everything with my credit card.... as does the Top Cash Back cashback, when I remember to use the link when buying from Ebay.

    Whilst on the subject of credit cards on ebay....Does anyone know why sometimes when paying for an item, the credit card option is greyed out? When that happens the only options we have are an echeque or to use bank account funds.
    Most of the time we can use the credit card just fine but now and then that option isn't available....I just wondered why? :)

    if you have enough funding in your paypal account, you cannot pay by credit card. After you transfer all funding to your bank account, the option of credit card would be available.
