PayPal Question - Need Help

[climb any hill]

Question for the Paypal users.
I don't like the inconvinience where Paypal takes up to 4 business days to approve money when uploded from your bank account.
Can I make a purchase without having money in Paypal? But since it's linked to my bank account, would Paypal automaticly transfer the funds to cover the purchase?

Thanks!

I think so. Thats the way I do it. Well, I have a check card set up like a credit card on paypal.

Then I'm ok, my checking account is the one linked to Paypal.
I use my checking account thru a Visa card, so I'm good???

Great, now I get to spend my funds faster lol..

I use my credit card on paypal for added security.
If I get jacked by a lame duck seller on Ebay, I can
dispute the sale through PayPal and also through
the credit card company. Double safe haha. Believe
me its tested and proven. Using your account is
some what risky...even with paypal. I say, use the
credit cards money, not yours. I work at a bank...
I see that stuff all the time.

Yep...same thing I do. Link my Paypal to my Bank Debit/Checking card.
I rarely, if ever keep a balance in my paypal account.

It just takes it out of my bank within 1-2 days. I'm anal about checking my banking every day....with online banking, you're crazy not to!
