ebay/paypal help.

Rikki

I have recently registered on ebay and I have found an item I'd like to bid for. Ends today.
I have a opened paypal account and I have just seen it takes 7-9 days for money transfered from the bank to clear into the account.
Is there any other way to put money in and it clear straight away? (without charges, of course?)

have you a debit or credit card you could use to pay for the item....

You needn't load your account with money, if you have a credit debit/ card you can just use them.

It's safer to use a credit card, too.

The buyer is only accepting paypal. How do I get money into the account from my debit card?

frivolous_fay

You add the card to your paypal account.

Sorry... to clarify - you can add a debit or credit card to your paypal account - if the seller accepts paypal, they accept all types of payment.

Credit is safer than debit if you have it.

you dont need to add money to the account.

if the seller takes paypal, you can use your debit/credit card to pay through paypal.

I really am an amateur.

Off to have a look.

on your Paypal home page...click on Profile, and then Credit cards....you can add a credit/debit card there.
