Question

Answer 1

If you have an account linked to paypal, it will work, but it takes longer for the seller to receive the payment, which means longer for you to get the item.

Answer 3

If you have a linked and verified bank account then it will do an instant transfer of funds from your checking account.  You don't have to have the money in your paypal account.  I think that's all up to a certain amount, though.
