Okay, so, I have a question.
I just got a checking account, debit card, ebay account, paypal account and all that fun stuff.
I verified it, and it still said my account balance was zip. So what I did is I went to add funds, and put in 130 dollars, said I had to wait 3-5 days for it to complete.
Okay but here is my question. Is paypal like an account in itsself, where you need to put money in it from your bank account to use paypal? I always thought paypal was more or less of a needed link to your account directly. Kind of like a 3rd party banking thing.
So whenever I want to use paypal I have to put money in it before I can use it, or no matter what the balance is in paypal, can I use it as long as I have money in my bank account?
I ask this because my parents never go to paypal.com and do anything to their account. They just kinda go to ebay and buy whatever they want. Which is why it didnt make sense when I had to add funds. I really dont get this. Someone who has used this before please clarify.
