Hi sarah001,
My apologies in advance for my long response. I taught it best to put all the information I had in for you.
An Instant Transfer is an immediate transfer to another PayPal account.
If there aren't enough funds in your PayPal account balance to fund the full amount of an Instant Transfer, we’ll request the remainder from your bank account. If this request fails, we’ll charge the remaining amount to your debit card or credit card. If the attempt to charge your card fails, we’ll try to charge your bank a second time.
If our attempts to charge the remaining amount from your bank/card fails, you’ll have an amount owing to us on your PayPal account. In this instance, your PayPal account's functionality may become limited until your balance is brought to zero or above.
We'll ask you to add money to your PayPal account to bring your balance to a minimum of zero within 7 business days. Adding money (or receiving a payment) can resolve this.
You can choose from one the following options to add funds to bring your account to a positive standing:
- Add money using your credit card or debit card (instantly).
- Add money using your bank account (5 to 7 working days).
- Add money by posting us a personal cheque, postal order, or banker's draft (7 business days after we receive your payment your balance will be updated).
Here's how to add funds to bring your account to a positive standing:
- Go to www.paypal.co.uk and log in to your account.
- Click ‘Resolve your negative balance.’
- Choose how you want to add money and click ‘Continue.’
- Verify your information and click ‘Continue.’
- Click ‘Add Funds.’
I do hope this helps
Paula
