My bro is telling me last time he used my paypal account to pay for something it transfered instantly. The longest I can wait for this is 1 day. Whats the quicket way to do this? I remember it would be instant with a credit card, but there is a charge right?

You don't have to put money in your account before making a payment... Paypal draws from your bank account or credit card on its own.

If there is a credit card as backup funding, yes. If not, it's an echeck that takes several business days to clear.

If you have a checking account and a credit card on file, you can do an "instant transfer"

I think a debit card with a Visa or Mastercard logo will satisfy that credit card requirement

I also think that you can fulfill the "immediate payment required" by sending an echeck payment from your bank account. No CC required. Sender gets notification of payment instantly, and the item IS yours, but it takes 3-4 days to clear.

qft. they pay for it and it bills your credit card. it is instant to the seller, about 2 days to your CC.
