Answer 1

With Paypal, you can pay by credit card, debit card or electronic check.

The money is taken out "instantly" by debit card.

The electronic check typically takes a few days to clear, but it will be back-dated by your bank to make it appear that it was an instant payment.

Be careful - if you don't have the money and you issue a check, it's called "kiting a check".  That's illegal.
