Idiotic paypal question

[Ratatapa]

Hey all, I wanna buy something in the US (from a friend) and I wanted to use paypal but I have 0$ in my account So i have 2 question (Paypal noob)


1) If i add my bank account how long can it take to
a) Access my bank information from paypal
b) withdraw money from it

2) If I pay with my credit card, will the guy I pay see my credit card info or it will be sent only to paypal w/e?

If you link your PayPal to a checking account it's usually instant money transfer. I've used it many times.

This is in the US

So long as your Paypal account is verified and attached to your checking account it will automatically withdraw the amount needed.

Going the other way, you can start the withdrawal process from paypal immediately, but it takes 2-3 days to actually hit your bank account.
