Not enough in paypal account to make payment?

raz_uk

Hey everyone

Just won a BIN item on ebay for around £67. Problem is ive got around £22 in my paypal balance.
Will my payment turn into an e-cheque or will the 22 just go and the remaining 45 go straight from my bank account?

cheers

I have paid partly in paypal and partly on my card in the past, has this changed now?

When you went to pay, paypal it tells you how much you still have to pay as it had automatically deducts any positive amount. Then you have a choice of how to pay the remainder one of which is an echeque, I also have a credit card and debit card option.

That was the case the last time I was in a similar situation.

i think it depends if you have a card or not on file, i think it follows this path

paypal bal > card > bank account

It doesn't go as an e-cheque when I pay from my bank card.

I think e-cheques are when your back up funds come from a bank account when you have no debit/credit card on file.

No, it goes balance > bank > card.

Paypal want to get your money without paying a credit card company anything and without you being able to raise a chargeback.
