How long for paypal to take out of bank?

Options
Hi guys,
I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to post this .. But after a good search on the Internet I was hoping for a real answer.
I could do with sending a paypal payment on Sunday, but I won't actually have the money to pay for it in my bank until Tuesday. I've made many a payments before that haven't come out of my account until 3 working days later, but just wanted to check this is correct?
It's not a huge amount (around £100), but would rather not use my credit card.
Should be ok shouldn't it?

    Maybe OK but its a risk, Is it worth the risk?

    What will the bank charge you for going over your limit? Or will they decline it and charge you?

    As above, I wouldn't risk it, on my bank account, my balance is shown, also an amount available, (I think that's what they say anyway).
    The available amount is often less, as an amount has been called for but not actually yet left my account, so you could end up overdrawn or the payment bouncing.
  • I have always found that paypal payments came out of my bank account three days after I made the payment. You should be fine.., but I'd reconsider buying the item if money was so short, u needed to wait for the money to come in. Do you really need the item etc?
  • Thanks guys,
    Ive put it through today and it hasnt changed my balance available... so hopefully will be fine until tue (with mon being a bank holiday).
    Unfortunatly it is something I've had to pay and some of my DDs have come out earlier than expected.
    Normally is you go to a shop and use your debit card then it does immediatly come off your balance available (on an ATM) ... but paypal does seem to take at least 3 days.
