Problem paying E cheques

I have my bank account linked to PayPal. Have for years. Fully verified etc. Last week a PayPal payment went out and my balance went into the red. As soon as I realised I paid the balance on my bank card as it said it was an instant option. It's been a good few days since then and the payment to paypal has let my bank. BUT I have made 4 payments over the last 2 days and only one has been completed. The other three are showing as echeques. I have funds in my bank and usually the payments are instant. I made sure the bank details are the option for main payments. I don't understand what's going on or how I can change it back to instant payments as before? Is there anyway I can turn the end cheque option off? If not when should PayPal go back to normal instantly complete payments? Thanks ... View more

PayPal balance used first?

I have purchased an item via eBay from the USA. Value is $77 ( roughly £62) I paid via PayPal but did have a balance of £10 in my PayPal account. My bank account is linked to my pp account as well.. Question is will the £10 pp balance be used first and then the rest taken from my bank account? I am confused because pp isn't showing that I now have a balance BUT it is showing a payment of $77 has been sent.. I just need to know how much I need to have in my bank account to cover the amount as it comes out.. would it be £52 or £62 roughly? Thank you! ... View more

Pay after delivery issue

Hi. I have pay after delivery as my current payment option. On most paypal transactions this has worked *except for one that was for the usa*. All eBay payments plus dominoes pizza payments. I have just send a payment (not a payment request but a payment send for goods) to a private seller but even though I have the option as pay later it still sent payment straight away 😠 Why is this? It's really annoying that paypal allow the pay later option but don't put it on all transactions that it's needed for. Thank you ... View more

kernowlass why have you even replied to this post anyway? You can see that i replied saying the problem had been solved so whyy reply after that with what I would have said is more of an insulting message rather than advice. For a volunteer advisor I would have said the advice from the normal member was more helpful. Thank you for you nib helpful slightly insulting advice (if that's what you want to call it) its not been very helpful and I would be happy not to have anymore from yourself. The problem was solved ages ago and I had better advice from real PayPal members and real PayPal staff. Thanks. ... View more

Well if the PayPal Staff admit quite clearly that the way the process of canceling a payment is flawed and they are looking at changing it doesn't that tell you that the system they use is incorrect and therefore the money still going out isn't anyones fault other than their own??!!! And I'm sorry but I disagree that's its obvious the process of how the.money comes out. Unless you work in a bank id say 9 out of 10 people probably wouldnt no how the process works. I put this post up originally asking for help, Not to have fellow PayPal member come on **bleep** at me telling me that its all my fault. Ud the site had the correct info up in the first place I'm sure the hundreds of people who have the same issue I had would know what to to. But my point was the site has Nothing up saying the cancellation process so people can be clear on how it works and put extra money in the bank if needed. If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all. Simple ... View more
