What Happens If You Bid With PayPal amp; You Don#039;t Have Enough in Your Account?

Auctions
Different auction sites have different policies for bidders. Some auction sites have a standardized set of payment options for bidders, while others allow sellers to choose from a variety of payment methods. While some bidders may accept credit cards or money orders, some will only accept PayPal. Generally, if a seller accepts only PayPal and makes this known before bidding has ended, then the bidder is required to make the payment through this service.
PayPal
PayPal functions as an online bank account. Individuals deposit and withdraw money from their PayPal accounts, which can be used to make payments to other parties. What happens when a person attempts to draw money from his PayPal account but has insufficient funds will depend on whether he has an offline bank account linked to his PayPal account and the settings he has placed on his account.
Billing
If a person has an offline account linked to his PayPal account, then PayPal will attempt to withdraw money out of this account. If this account also has insufficient funds, then the person will either overdraft this account or the transaction will not clear. If the person does not have an offline account linked to his PayPal account, then his PayPal account may show a negative balance. However, the person can also change his settings to not allow his PayPal account to go negative, meaning that the transaction would not clear and the auction house would not be paid.
Considerations
If a person wins an auction, he is generally required to pay for the item or face some sort of penalty. If the payment does not clear, the auction house may take one of several actions. For example, the auction house may fine the bidder or, in the case of eBay, the person may receive negative feedback. In addition, the bidder will often lose the right to purchase the item.

How to Transfer Money From a PayPal Account

1. Link your primary bank account to PayPal. To do this, look at the Activate Account Box after you've logged on. Select the 'Add Checking Account' option.
2. Fill out the information for your primary bank. They will need to know the name of the bank and the number of the account you want to transfer money into. Once you link the account, you will not need to provide this information each time you transfer money--PayPal will have it on file.
3. Click 'Withdraw Money.' When you choose to withdraw money you will be offered a few ways of doing so. All means of withdrawal will cost you money in PayPal fees except for the option to transfer to your bank account. The transfer money service is free. Choose the option to transfer money to your linked account.
4. Enter the dollar amount of the transfer you wish to make. The dollar amount has to be less then or equal to the money that you have available in your PayPal account.
5. Wait for the money to arrive in your primary bank account. The amount of time it will take for your transfer to go through has largely to do with your primary bank and how quick they are at processing the incoming transfer. However, most banks within the US will show the money in your account within three or four days. Outside of the US is usually takes five to seven days for the transfer to go through.

How Does a PayPal Money Market Fund Work?

Features
PayPal makes the fund convenient for PayPal members. Enroll in the PayPal Money Market Fund online by clicking on the link to 'PayPal Money Market Fund' in Resources and then clicking on the orange 'Enroll' button. After your enrollment, any money you deposit to your PayPal account will automatically go into the fund each day and earn a return. Any money you withdraw from PayPal will come out of the fund daily as well. You can still access your balance with your PayPal debit card, similar to a regular PayPal account and with the same limits.
The Fund's Investments and Fees
According the the Prospectus, the fund invests in a 'Master Portfolio' that buys various high quality, short-term U.S. and foreign money market instruments, such as certificates of deposit and U.S. government and U.S. government agency obligations. Risks to your money include management risk, interest-rate risk and credit risk, among others. The fund strives to keep the share price at $1.00 U.S. Although the fund incurs operating expenses, fund investors pay no fees or load.
Tax Consequences
You will generally have to pay taxes on your distributions. If PayPal declares part of your dividends capital gains, you must pay their taxes as long-term capital gains. You may also have a capital loss or gain for tax purposes if you sell or trade shares.The fund will report dividends to you on a 1099-DIV form each year you receive $10.00 or more. PayPal will also state which dividends count as income and which as capital gains, if applicable. The IRS can require PayPal to withhold 28 percent of your taxable distributions if you have not complied with all federal tax regulations.
Performance
The fund's prospectus dated April 30, 2010, details performance for the calendar years 2000 through 2009. The year 2000 shows the highest return of 5.56 percent, while 2009 shows the lowest return, 0.23 percent. The yield can change quarterly or even more often. You will find the current yield on the money fund enrollment page.
Warning
Do not confuse this fund with a bank money market deposit account. PayPal states that the money market fund does not carry FDIC insurance. In fact, money that you leave in your regular PayPal account does not fall under FDIC insurance or regulation, either. CNN Money explains that PayPal operates as a deposit broker, not as a bank, even though many of its functions appear bank-like.
