If I have a pending transfer, e.g. $50, going into Paypal from my Bank Account, and I send someone $50 after making the transfer (still pending), will Paypal debit the pending transfer before it debits my bank another $50, even though when I send money it does not allow me to select Paypal Balance as the first source of funding (since the posted Paypal balance is zero)? It seems to have done this the last time I made a purchase, surprisingly. Just want to make sure it wasn't a fluke as I'm about to try it again. Background: When I make a business purchase with Paypal, I try to move money from the bank to Paypal before making a purchase. This is because I track both my bank and my Paypal in Quickbooks, and the bookkeeping is easier if I treat Paypal like a checking account that I transfer money in and out of. If I try to use Paypal to debit my bank card, it's problematic. The downside to this approach is that it takes 3-5 days for a transfer from my bank to Paypal to clear. TIA!
