When you use PayPal to send money, the currency balance in which you send the payment will be used first. If you do not hold a balance in the currency of which you are sending the payment, your payment will default to an active credit card, a confirmed bank account or a different currency balance. You can view the 'Source of Funds' for your payment on the 'Check Payment Details' page.

If the payment that you are sending exceeds the amount of funds in your PayPal Account, click the 'More Funding Options' link. The options provided will depend on the financial information that you have registered and the sending limit on your account.

If you choose to draw funds from a confirmed checking account, you have the option of an 'Instant Transfer' or 'eCheck'. Instant Transfer is backed up by either your credit card or a secondary bank account and occurs immediately, whereas eCheck payments usually take four business days to post as complete.

Please note that once a payment has been sent, it is not possible to alter the method of funding. You can view the funding method of payments sent by viewing the transactions details page of the transaction.
