Will paypal do this??

Hi i was just wondering I want to bid on an item on ebay, the only problem is I haven't got the funds in my paypal I have them in my bank account but it takes 7-9 working days to transfer and the tem ends today.

If i use paypal will and the funds are not in there will they use my bank account??

Many thanks

    As long as your verified and the BA is linked with a direct debit set up the payment to the seller should be instant. with the money coming out of your BA in a few days as a DD.

    I've paid for several things without money in paypal and it always shows as paid instantly for the seller, but takes a few days for my bank to get the funds gone.

    As above.

    My PP is linked to my current account debit card and as long as money is in the account then the payment goes through.

    It is immediately reserved from my balance and then appears on the statement a couple of days later.
  • It will only come up as an E-cheque if you don't have a back-up source(a credit card registered with your paypal account).
