Paypal empty question..............

[Enid_Puceflange]

Hi lads n lassies ,

I'm wanting to hit the b.i.n button on an item on ebay, BUT

My pp account is empty :roll:

I have my account verified with my bank card and can do the transfer funds thing from the bank to pp but it takes 10 days or so! :evil:

If I hit the b.i.n button, will the funds just go straight to the seller from my bank account?

Dont want to hit b.i.n then not be able to pay for it :roll:

Cheers

is that e checque?

if so, yes the funds will go straight to the seller (obviously after the wait, 5-7 days?)

not sure if you can pay for a buy it now this way
i think some you can some you cant :?

cant you do the thing straight from your account
rather than e checque? (but still through paypal, need a visa card or similar i presume/cash card?)

No funds in paypal...

When you buy something it will take the money from you bank or credit card, whichever you specify when you get to the paypal page after the purchase

It goes into you paypal account from your bank and the transaction carries on as normal

Seller does not see it as any other transaction than a regular paypal one

I never have anything in my paypal account & have had no problems with BIN or auction sales on any site I've used PP on

Cyfa,
i dunno what an e-chq is?
So i dont think so

Andy,
Glad to see another member of the R.B community is as financially astute as me

Thats the answer i was hoping to get, and kinda thought was the correct one

I had better go shopping now and find out

Thanks for the fast replies dudes

e cheque is electronic cheque
which is when you dont have a debit/credit card, it sends it like a cheque, hence the wait

but if your
card is debit/credit it should go straight through

i rarely had funds in my pp account, and knowing how long it took when pp took from my bank account, i would pay for stuff about 3 days before i got paid, knowing it would finally be taken out later.
