Using Paypal with an empty wallet.

[NickV19]

How does using Paypal when the account's balance is $0 affect PayPal? I have money coming into my account but don't want to be indebted to PayPal just because I bought something a few hours before the money is transferred from my bank to my account.

In my experience paypal sends a paypal request 2 days after the purchase. (Not sure if it's the same with Send Money)

After that PayPal leaves the request open for 6-8 days.

If your account balance is topped up before the 2 days they will use that first instead of using your bank.

At least, that's how I understood it when I googled this same question just a minute ago for myself 🙂
