Funds being transferred but needed to buy now on ebay!

[abford415]

Hi, I am sort of frustrated so I hope someone sees this out there...I want to buy a cd on ebay, tonight (now) I transferred funds from my bank account to my paypal account and it said it would take 3-4 days!!! I didn't know this and now I don't know what to do : ( Is there any way to make the purchase and pay because the funds are in the process of being transferred? Or will I get in trouble with ebay and/or paypal for not having sufficient funds for my purchase? Should I do something different next time I want buy something? Does it matter that I just got my paypal card? Any answers or help will be sooo appreciated, thanks to all!

Hello abford415,

Great question!

It sounds like you are adding funds directly to your PayPal account for a purchase.  Actually, if you have a credit card, & a bank account on your account you don't need to add funds first at all!

When you go through to make the purchase, in the checkout process we will provide you the funding methods you can choose from. 

If you choose to pay using your bank, we will send an instant transfer to your seller...within seconds, they are paid! 

In your current situation, you can make a payment directly to the seller now, or wait until the funds process into your PayPal account. 

Hope this helps!
