I figure a good amount of you LR forum users are also PayPal users as well, considering who we are and how we can go about purchasing our geekly goodies

Anyway I have my bank account and debit card lined up on PayPal, and I'm wondering if there's a difference between asking for the money to be sent from my bank account into my PP account rather than using the "instant sending" option?

I have a few dollars in my PP account, but I need to combine it with some money I have on my debit card...
I ask because I know that these transfers can take days and I'd really rather not wait that long.
Basically, can I take the funds from my debit card and add them with the funds already in PP to send instantly?

I thought the whole point in debit cards were that they came out of your bank account anyway?

Erm, if you use paypal to send the funds, won't it take the money out of your account automatically?

I honestly don't know, Dan... I've used PP maybe 3-4 times since 2005 so I'm technically still a complete noob.

I'll give it a go anyhow

Have you looked into the dangers of using PayPal? They are posted all over the internet. Even class action lawsuits since PP can lock down your accounts and hold your money for any given length of time without even warning or properly notifying the owner of the account!

Read up on PP. Tell PP to take a hike.

PP also has changed its terms of use and how it does business this year. User, buyer and sellers beware.

No biggie for me, I don't deal in it unless I absolutely have to :/ I'd much rather do money orders through Western Branch or something of the like

They messed with me for a while saying that someone had fraudulently accessed my account and they locked it.
Didn't bug me too much because I didn't use it for a year and a half. Then I used it today to send off money from my checking account to FZ1 for the 8800GTS 512 :D

Long story short, I take the risk when I deem it necessary, but that's on rare occasions.
