can you imagine if surfers had to wait 3-4 days to get into your sites to whack it?

i don't get it. they have my CC number on the account same as the bank account and you'd think that its automated. are they that freakin backed up that it takes so long to get through the fraud prevention and administrative shit?

You do know you can send money automatically with a $0 balance right?

You must have some funky Costa Rica paypal account because everyone I've ever known knew how to use the standard features which include: Send money from a credit card, and the amazing InstaCash Transfer.

I was going to say the same thing. I always can send money directly to someone instantly with a zero balance in my paypal. It just takes the cash from my bank via my debit card.

Only time I have a 3-4 day wait is when I try to add money to paypal to give my paypal account its own balance.

they had the account all fucked up and i had to reassociate cards with it and email addresses and shit. who knows, maybe they flagged me as suspect. who knows. fuck it, i just loaded 500 and forget it. at least i'll have money in there for incidentals that i need to buy now like wp themes and little knick knack internet tools. i tried the instant thing and it kept sending me back to the transfer money from bank account thing. unless my CC is in a negative database because how many test signups and cancels i do.

seriously.

ACH is typically done over night bank to bank. The answer to why it takes 3-4 days is float.

An alternative is coming. I'm moving as fast as I can.

Check top left of front page and if your card is expired or something it will tell you the problem. If nothing is there try to send $1 to someone (with your $0 balance) and somewhere you can click "edit funding options" moving it to c/c or instacash. I just did this for a friend the other day, would never leave $500 in paypal when you can pay for anything straight from your bank.

I was just going to say how much I am looking forward to your alternative.

paypal has to be the easiest way to give up full control of your money and just hope that you get paid out and they don't put your accounts into a locked status because one of their operators does not like the frequecy of transactions into your account. You just need to open multiple accounts, get debit cards for each one and well, the rest it quite easy.
