I ordered a computer and paid nearly $500, and needed it right away. AFTER the order went through, the seller contacted me to tell me they hadnt been paid. Paypal decided to send them an echeck EVEN THO THE DEFAULT IS INSTANT PAY without letting me know, so now my computer wont even be ordered until they receive payment 7 days from now. When i called paypal to see if it could be changed, they said i had to call my bank, they couldnt do anything. Bunch of BS! BAnk wants to charge me to cancel a payment, of course. NEVER using paypal again...

@Warning

 

When you pay a seller it is never instant > paypal CREDIT the seller for you and then paypal take the wait for the funds to transfer from your bank account.

 

HOWEVER they only take that risk if you have a back up card linked to your paypal account as well, if you don't then it goes as an echeque and you take the wait.
