Paypal Direct Debit

Hey there

If I used instant bank transfer to pay for eBay goods (so it leaves via Direct debit) when will I notice the funds leave my account?

I bank with Lloyds TSB?

    Is that including Sunday? (Tonight or yesterday depending how you see it)

    So I am looking at thursday/friday?
  • I don't know about Lloyds TSB but with Natwest it takes 2-3 days. I purchased something on Sunday 11th and something on Monday 12th and both direct debits came out on Wednesday 14th.
  • Can I use direct debit on Ebay through Paypal?

    Sure, just tell Paypal to take the funds direct from your account.

  • It's usually 2-3 working days for me as well. I've never seen it take as long as 5-7 working days for money leaving the account.
