Title: Debit card vs credit card donation
Post by: Nakiro on June 16, 2008, 06:35:34 pm

I just linked my debit card to pay pal and I was wondering if it would be instant like a credit card, or would it take a while like an eCheck?

I've got a debit card linked to my paypal so I can only answer half on the question :|

Debit card -> Paypal transfer = ~3-7 days

Paypal -> Anthem donation = instant ad credit

eCheck = ages

If you skip the debit -> Paypal transfer step, then it'll count as an eCheck and will take ages to clear. (I've done this before by mistake.)

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something here, because my debit card -> my savings account card -> my bank account.

Are you talking about a gift card or something like that?
