sending money using paypal from bank account?

Question

When ever i would send someone money from paypal, I normally would have to transfer my money first from my bank to my paypal. This takes a long time, and it is a bit of a hassle to especially if i am paying for something, then i have to wait along with the person that I am purchasing the item from

I was wondering if I am able to still send money to someone and have the money instead come straight out of my bank account. The situation would be that I would have no funds in my paypal account but sufficient funds in my bank account.

I know that I was able to in the past pay for items on websites this way, but I am just curious if this would work through paypal directly to send money.

Thanks

Log in, go to "My PayPal" (at the top), "Send Money" (top icon in "Shortcuts" on far right), and fill in the information on the next page, choosing "I'm sending money to family or friends."

PayPal will deduct from your linked bank account and send it immediately to who you've chosen to receive it.

Note: If you DO have money in a PayPal balance, PayPal will tap that FIRST, then tap your bank for the remainder. I found that out the hard way when my balance disappeared, and I LIKE to keep a couple of hundred as a balance so I don't have to list every piddling buy in my checkbook register!
