Sorry Jessica....I don't mean to highjack this thread, but I haven't been able to find this problem mentioned anywhere else in these forums. I've got the same problem. I'd much rather pay from the balance in my PayPal account than have debiting my bank account slowing down the payment process.
Can anyone shed any light on this for us? Thanks.

The only time it has done this for me is when there wasn't enough funds in my account (was short a few cents if I recall correctly), so check to see that you have more than enough and that it's in the correct currency.

Thanks for the reply.
It was only a small purchase of less than 12.00 and I had a balance of 25.00 in my PayPal account. Anyone else have any ideas why this maight have taken place? Cheers!
