Insignificant funds

[Katie-dickens15]

I made a purchase using PayPal but I didn't have enough funds in my bank account (was trying to see if pay in 3 was available but it just went straight to checkout and went through with the purchase), the order has been accepted and sent out but PayPal still hasn't tried to take the money and I don't have a negative balance. Does anyone know how long it will take until they try and take the money again? (It's been 6days since I made the purchase)

Transfers from bank accounts are never instant, that is why when you buy something paypal credit the seller upfront for you and paypal take the wait for the funds to transfer to pay them back again, this is so you get your item without delay.

Takes 5-7 working days to transfer as Paypal use the slowest (cheapest) transfer option BUT funds normally leave your bank account from a few hours up to a few days later.
