Ebay help

Slickinfinit

Yesterday was the first time I ever used Ebay to buy something and stupid me had to mess it up. I bought an item and looked in my paypal to see I had enough, I misread the item though it was listed in USD and I had the exact ammount in CAD and it was a bout 3 hours after I clicked buy that I noticed so I tranfered the other needed funds after I realized it was short a few $. I looked at my ebay account this morning and it says stuff I dont really understand and I cant find anyplace that says if the purchase was good or went through, I looked in my paypal account and I see what looks like a bank transaction for the ammount I was short so would paypal automaticly try to get the $$ from my bank if I was short in my paypal when I made the tranaction? Does a transaction from paypal to Ebay go through instantly or would I have been okay to get the funds in there a few hours after I clicked buy and clicked pay for?

I guess it all depends on how you have your PayPal set up.  When I do a transaction, it auto deducts from my Checking acct.  I think you can have it set up to auto out of a credit card too.

Yup, I was confused cause it didnt take the funds directly from my paypal so I looked at all my account info and couldnt find anything, I asked a few people to no avail and finaly figured out its being directly taken from my bank instead of paypal which confised the hell outta me but its all sorted now, thanks for the helpful info. I am a nub to buying stuff online but I will learn quick, just wish I realized how cheap some stuff was on Ebay a long time ago lol.

i always use paypal.   Never had a problem with it.  Just make sure you have the money to back it up, if you dont, it goes on ur credit card whic is a backup

Yea it was my fault for not realizing it was american dollars instead of Canadian so I didnt have enough in my paypal and its gonna take from bank which is cool with me I just didnt know that. Paypal seems reliable and easy to use I wil just have to get used to buying on ebay, it confused the hell outta me for the first bit lol.
