hi everyone, forgive the noob question. ;)

i want to buy an item from this forum. the seller will accept a pay pal gift.
i have a paypal account, with my debit card linked to it, but i have no funds in the paypal account.
previously i just used the card on ebay.
logging into paypal, it says "you may make payments from your bank account without adding funds to your PayPal balance."

my question is, how long does this take, for a gift?
 
I think PayPal transfers the money pretty much instantly and then receives the money from the bank whenever it comes through.
 
If you are fully registered then it is instant.

I use 'gift' all the time and with no money actually in my PP account.

(Naturally it is 24hrs before it clears out of your account, could be 48 I can never remember.)

what exactly is fully registered?
i have had the account for around 3 years, and have used it only a few times.
 
You have a linked bank account with the secure deposits made and entered, and that you have a debit card registered too (from same bank) or credit card linked by requesting small deposit and entering code seen on bank/credit statement.

It tells you in Account Overview if your verified.
 
If your debit card is linked, the seller will get the payment instantly. The transaction will show on your statement a few days later.
