As a buyer you never need funds in your PayPal account balance. 

 

PayPal will take direct from your bank account via the direct debit set up when you opened your account. 

 

When you pay if you want to pay via your card instead their is an option to do so by clicking on "other funding options".

 

As long as you have confirmed your email address and verified your bank account and card you should be good to go. 

 

Come back if you need any more help.
