What's the fastest way to get money into you paypal account, it takes 4-5 days to transfer funds from checking into paypal....any hints on a faster way? I heard you can use money gram...is that true?
 
CVS sells a PayPal cash card you pay the amount you want to load in your account plus like 4 bucks. Then go home and enter the pin in your PayPal account. The funds are added instantly.
 
You can link a bank account or card(s) directly to your PayPal account, then choose which method to use for payment. This is the way I use it, the only time I have funds in my Paypal account is when someone transfers to me, then I transfer it straight to my checking account. Not sure if this helps.
 
As Paypal explained it to me, once you link a credit card to your paypal account, even with no funds with Paypal and even when you opt to pay via your linked bank account .. they will pay out immediately. I also do not keep a balance in my Paypal. This has proven true on my last three purchases.

PayPal is basically escrow using direct transfers from the bank account or a credit card to the seller. This way, payments are immediate (and take 2 to 3 days for the seller to transfer it from PayPal to their account... but the money is under their control and the payment may be considered complete). Otherwise, you'll wait just like a wire.

Yup, the message above is the easiest. I also keep a zero balance, but if I buy something short-notice it's all automatic (assuming I have money in the linked account).
