Hi sleepingbeauty,
I am sorry for the long response but I taught it best to give you all the information I have.
You can add money to your PayPal account balance from your bank account. It takes approximately 5 to 7 working days for the money to post to your account. You don’t need to have money in your PayPal account to send a payment. You can send money directly from a bank account, a credit card, or a debit card. You may send payments to anyone with an email address using the following payment methods: • PayPal Balance (Instant) • Instant Bank Transfer (Instant) • Debit or Credit card (Instant) • eCheque (takes 5 - 7 working days) 1. Balance: • Transfer to recipient occurs immediately • If you have more than one positive currency balance, the entire amount will be funded from the selected currency. • If the balance used to send the payment is insufficient, it may default to another currency balance depending on the amount of funds available. 2. Instant Bank Transfer: To perform an instant transfer from your bank account, you must have a debit card or credit card added to your PayPal account. • Transfer to recipient occurs immediately • If the amount in your PayPal balance is sufficient to fund the entire payment your bank account will not be used. • To use Instant Bank Transfer, you must have added and confirmed your bank account to your PayPal account. 3. Debit/Credit Card: • The transfer occurs immediately • If the amount in your PayPal balance and/or bank account is sufficient to fund the entire payment your credit card will not be used. 4. eCheque: A transfer from your bank account. A credit or debit card or secondary bank account is not required for backup. • This method of transferring money is NOT immediate. • eCheque payments takes 5 - 7 working days to complete. This time frame refers to the completion of the entire transfer, not simply the time it takes for funds to be debited from the bank. • When you send money by eCheque, PayPal will debit your bank account for the full payment amount, regardless of your PayPal account balance.
I hope this helps
