Paypal questions.

I havent used paypal in about 4 years. My account stills says verified which i assume means i can still use it fine? I have no funds in my account. I also hate the fact it takes a week to clear. Can i send someone money via the send money feature even if i dont have money in my paypal account? will it just come straight out of my bank account?

Yeah, it should just go straight through. I think it's the other way round when you transfer from Paypal to your bank account that you have to wait.

yes it will just come out of your bank account as you already said...

If you just have your bank account linked then I think Paypal uses an e-cheque which takes several days to clear.

If your Paypal account is backed by a credit card then the money goes straight through as they can charge your credit card if your bank payment is rejected.
