Hi,

I just bought something using the PayPal credit/debit card and it is showing up as pending. When something that you bought is pending, do they subtract the amount from your available cash in your PayPal account right away or does get deducted when the transaction is completed?

I'm wanting to know because I'm getting low on the cash that I have in my account and I just bought something else with the PayPal card. If the money hasn't been taken off of my balance already, there will be an overdraft.

This leads to another question. What if I do get an overdraft? Will PayPal charge me for it or simply look in the checking account that I have linked to the account? I just made sure that I have an extra $100 in there just in case.

Also.. If I were to transfer money from my checking account back into my PayPal account, would it cover the charge even though it usually takes a few days for the money to transfer?

Sorry for all of the questions.. Thanks in advance!

Sal

Well.. I just found out the answer to the first part of my question.

The second charge just came through and is "pending" and PayPal subtracted it off the balance that is available.

I still don't know what would happen if there was an overdraft on my PayPal account. If anyone knows, please let me know?
