Quick PayPal Question

[Marky_]

Hey all,

Hope this is the forum for this topic, but here we go...

I don't have any amount in my paypal account - but I have some cash in my bank account which my paypal is connected too. If I, for example, buy a domain name, am I able to pay through paypal as if there is money in my paypal. So it just takes the money from my bank account staight through?

Thanks,

Marky

Yes, I never actually have any money kept in my Paypal account. When ever I buy anything and pay with paypal, I always just pay with the funds from my bank account.

As Brian says it casn be done easily, however you say you have your card added to paypal as a "bank account"? If this is so remember to add the card as a credit/debit card in addition to that, as funding from a bank account will take anything upto 15 days (it goes through as an eCheque)

If you add it as a credit/debit card money transfers are instant.

Yes exactly what Matthew stated. When you do this you become Verified and so the money your bank account becomes linked. If you aren't Verified then you can only pay with funds in your Paypal account.

It only takes that lont for the funds to be in your paypal if you fund your account with it, if you pay for things with the transfer from bank it is instant
