I want to send money to my friend. But I don't have money on my linked account right now. I know exactly I will have money on my linked account in 1-3 days. Is it possible send money through PayPal in this case? will it work?

Hi @volika

 

Thank you for your post.

 

PayPal is not a credit service. If you send a payment to your friend using your PayPal account, it will charge your bank account or card linked to your account. If you don't currently have any funds in your bank account, the payment would be declined.

 

I would suggest you wait until you have the funds available, to send your payment.

 

Thanks,
