Do i have to add money to Paypal account and wait before i buy?

i just added enough money to buy a few shirts but it hasn't showed up in my paypal balance yet. do i have to wait 3-5 days (like it says) or can i buy already?

No you do not need to wait until the money arrives. If you make a payment without any money in your PP balance it will transfer the funds from your bank or CC, whichever you choose. If you have a balance on your PP acct it will use that money first and then use money from your bank/CC.





So if you have a $75 balance on the PP acct and you buy a $100 item, it will automatically use the $75 from your balance then take $25 from your bank or CC.

Reply:depends on the account you have. if your credit card is attached to pay pal you can buy now.
