Recently i made a payment using paypal and it was completed immediately although i dont have any balance in my account. On the second day i checked my bank account which i linked to my paypal account. However, no amount was deducted from my bank account. OR does it take a few days before the amount was deducted from my bank account??

When you pay a seller it is never instant > paypal credit the seller for you and then start the process of uploading your funds to paypal from your funding source. This is done so you get your item more quickly.

Funds can leave your funding source from a few hours up to a few days later.
