If I purchase something with my paypal funds, will it show up on my bank statement?

[CKG23]

I'm supposed to recieve some money through paypal, and want to get a gift for my boyfriend. We have a joint banking account that the paypal account is connected to. He doesn't get on the paypal, but he does check the bank statements.

If I purchase something for him as a gift with Paypal funds, as long as I have enough funds (Say it's a $50 item.) If I have $55 in my paypal account, will the transaction show up on my bank statement?

I assume if you don't have the direct funds in the paypal account then whatever else is needed gets taken out of your bank account and THEN it would show up on your statement as "paypal blahblahblah".

Anyway, thank you in advance for replying.

Hi CKG23,

Welcome to the community! 🙂

You are correct.  If there are enough available funds in your PayPal account to fully fund a purchase, then no funds will need to be taken from your bank or card.  There will not be any record on your bank or card statements in that situation.
