Hey guys its almost embarrassing to ask but :p

I just used paypal for the first time to buy Mincraft with my debit card. Anyway my paypal fund is 0 so I assume the payment just goes straight out of my bank account but just to clarify - I don't need to add the amount I spent into the paypal account do I? :p. I know I likely don't but I just need to put my irrational worries to rest :L.

God I feel like such a noobie.

Yeah that's fine it should go straight out of the bank account, at least that's what mine does. I hear some people have to pay something additional when doing transfers through paypal, my girlfriend received an email from paypal to say that because of an issue between her and her bank, it would have to charge for transactions. I assume this would depend on the country you're in or the way you set up your paypal account.

So I'm fairly sure yes, but I'm not going to garauntee it. It would at least warn you if it will charge a little extra anyway, but it should go straight out the bank account.

I usually use money IN my paypal account when I make purchases through paypal. but that's more due to the fact that I hadn't considered this alternative as an option.

my paypal is linked to a card rather than a bank account, i use paypal to buy something (like minecraft) and paypal paid mojang and then charged my card the same amount.
