Sending money via friends and family

[Janellerm86]

I want to use my credit card to send money via friends and family. If for whatever reason the card is declined, is the transaction cancelled or does it take the funds out of my other account linked to PayPal? Does it tell you it’s declined instantly? Sorry new to this process. Thx for your help.

Generally the transaction doesn’t go through, there’ll be an error message displayed on-screen.

Your payment was declined. Here's what you can do.

As a new user, I highly recommend taking time to read the user agreement for detailed information of how a PayPal account works.
Doing so does prevent much stress, unpleasantness and surprises. Also the various topics in the Help Center.
