First Time With PayPal

Hey guys, I was wondering just how PayPal works when linked to a bank account. I just got something for about $20.00 without having any cash in PayPal.

My question is how is PayPal going to get the money is it just going to come out of the account I have linked, will I need to do anything to let the funds go to PayPal, and about how long will it take. Thanks for the help!

Hi there and welcome to PayPal!

 

When you go to make a purchase the our system will recognize that your account with us does not carry a balance. At that time it will have you select a payment method to use (in this instance your bank account) and it will deduct the necessary amount. If you decide to one day link more than one card/bank account it will give you a menu to select your funding method from your available options on the list.

 

I hope this helps!
