Quick Paypal question.
    #7192019 - 07/18/07 09:06 AM (16 years, 7 months ago)

Okay, my parents are going out of town on the 22nd, and I'll have my 21st birthday while they're gone. So I was wanting to order something off ebay for this special occasion, and I plan on using Paypal to pay. The things is, the item is $60 but I currently only have $10 in my paypal account, and I told Paypal to transfer $50 more from my savings over to the Paypal account but that usually takes a good 3 to 4 days.... which means my parents would be back before I got my package!

But an online friend who lives in another country said that it doesn't matter how much you have in your paypal account, that If I bid for this $60 item, Paypal will simple take the $10 I already have, then take the rest ($50) instantly from my savings account.... so no waiting 3 - 4 business days!

Is this true? Will it work in America too? And will it work with me using a savings account? Or do I need a credit card or something for it to work this way? (I own no credit or debit cards or any of that bullshit)

Thanks in advance!

Yep, True, I never have money in my paypal account unless I sell something. There is no point in having money in your paypal account, cuz your correct, it just will suck from your checking account if no money is in paypal.
Good luck!

hmm, I didnt see that saving account part. See if you can add your saving account to paypal. If it is added, it should work fine.

Depends on your account, and the exact details. I've had it take from me instantly, and I've had to do a transfer like you say. So don't count on it. Have the item shipped to a friend's address if you need to.

As to why to keep money in your PayPal account- I get better interest from them than from my bank. And the PayPal debit card is extra cool too- 1% cash back!

Okay it didn't work. Now it's just requesting $60 more from my savings account which says it probably won't clear till the 23rd, meaning ill get the package waaaaay too late.

Can anyone here front me about $50 (wired through Paypal) until the 23rd? I'll give you stuff or extra money in reward. PM me and I'll tell you what I have to give to you if you do this favor for me.

I have plenty of cash in my Paypal account (you earn over 5% interest through their money market option). But SuperD says you stole $100 from him. :shrug:
