Straight away!   Can you use a friends card?

Answer 2

I assume you are talking about paying by debit card as you refer to your account having no money in it (join the club!) If that is the case, then the payment is made immediately which the whole purpose of a debit card. It's a different matter if you are using a credit card which doesn't have any connection with your current account.
