Unlike credit or debit card payments, instant bankaccount payments aren’t immediately processed by your bank. Although PayPal processesthese payments in real time, it might take 2-5 business days before the moneyis cleared. In other words, we couldn’t confirmthat your available balance is enough to complete your payment.
Here’s what can happen if the bank account payment isreturned:
- Your bank may charge a fee.
- Your backup payment methodmight be used instead.
- Your PayPal balance couldgo negative.
What to do
- Choose another way to pay. You can use a card or add money to your PayPal balance to complete the payment.
To manage your payment methods and select a preferred way topay, go to Wallet.
