In lat jan i signed up to Paypal credit. Received first bill in February with the payment due before march 22.
I have 0% interest until 1 June
Yesterday i made a payment, manual not DD, of £50.
The payment was showing on Paypal as 'Scheduled' even though payment date was set as 10 March.
Today on Paypal the payment is showing to have been completed and £50 taken off my credit balance, but i cant see the payment on my on my bank account transactions?

    It always takes several days before it shows as a debit - on my bank account, anyway.

    It can take days for the actual payment to leave your bank account from experience. They seem to use the slowest method possible. 
    Time is a path from the past to the future and back again. The present is the crossroads of both. :cool:

    Just need to make sure i leave enough in the account for when it is taken.

    I really like PayPal credit - especially for the rolling 4m 0% purchases (plus some longer offers), but it can take up to a week for a payment to come out of your bank account - though they do credit it for the day it is made.

    The other thing to note is that if you make a separate payment, they will still take the direct debit too.

    I havent set any DD. It would prefer it if the payment left bank account straight away, i cant think of any other payments where this is not the case,  apart from DD's. I tend not to leave much cash in current accounts.
    But the 4 month  0% is good, and i got £20 for joining Paypal Credit.
