My Paypal balance is very low, but i need to pay few a couple of e-bay items. I have a bank account registered – will it just take funds from my bank account without me having to "add funds"?

It should do, just try paying it will tell you where it is going to get the money from. My personal account takes money from my account by direct debit if I do not have funds.

Yes, I've never added funds. Don't think I have a linked bank account, it is funded via a credit card.

I would be weary of having a linked bank account, if someone rips off your Paypal account…

At least with a credit card you have some protection.

Just be prepared for it to take the funds more than once from your account. You will then have to wait at least a week for them to be returned. 🙄

Ok, thanks for replies, it's not sounding like a graet plan.
