Some money was meant to be coming into my account but the person has had some problems. I want to buy on eBay but there is not enough money in my account, will it let me go into a overdraft until I get the money?

When you say not enough money in your account do you mean paypal or bank account??

 

If paypal account then you never need funds in there as a buyer.

 

When you pay for something paypal CREDIT the seller and then take the funds from any funding source you have linked to your paypal account ie bank account or card.

 

HOWEVER if you ONLY have a bank account linked then they like you to have a back up card linked to paypal as well or they make you take the wait for the funds to progress or not let you pay at all.

 

If you mean your bank account then no you can't go overdrawn, if you do your paypal account may go into negative and limited until you pay them back again and even then they may restrict how much you can buy in the future before they put on a block as you have gone into negative beforehand.
