Purchasing with PayPal !HELP!?

Question

I purchased an item off a website, via pay pal. I confirmed the purchase and everything. At the time I had no money transfered in my account. Did Pay Pal already pay using my Bank Account? Or do I have to transfer funds prior a purchase and it will deduct from there. OR do I have to send an E-Check. When I buy things when I have no money in my PayPal account, does PayPal automatically take from my Bank Account, or do I have to do it myself(e-check or add funds)? I am not using a credit card. Are purchases done faster if I don't deposit the required amount of money for the purchase into the PayPal account prior a purchase, or is it the same as just allowing PayPal to just take it out of my bank?

Answer 1

If you pay via Credit Card, then it is instantly.

If you pay via bank account, then it is an e-check and it will take anywhere from 4 days to a week.

If you pay via your PayPal balance, then it is instantly.

If you have no credit card and no money in your PayPal balance then it will default to an e-check from your bank.

So, the best way is to transfer money to your PayPal balance so the money is sitting there waiting for you.

Answer 2

go to pay pal and access your account

then check recent purchases

it should tell you there also

go to your account and click on payment

when you set up the acct you had to chose how you would pay either by an automatic withdrawal through a back account or pay pal credit or credit card etc.

your options should be under your account
