Previously-a couple of months ago, I purchased some items from ebay. And I would pay by using my bank account to transfer over to my PayPal, and it would pay the seller instanly. But now however, I've noticed that when I pay for something, It would take several days to clear the money from my bank account, to my paypal, then to the seller. What's the deal? And how can I speed up the process of just paying instantly and not having to wait for my payments to clear?

I used to work for PayPal so I'm pretty familiar with their processes. Did you used to have a credit card attached to the account? And was it removed? Essentially, in order for instant payment to go through you would have to have both a credit card and a checking account listed on the account before the payment will go through instantly. The reason you need both for a quicker payment is because if one fails, like your check bounces, they have a safe guard of another pay method to the seller.
Hope this helps.

I know what you are talking about. When I was like 15yo and started using eBay I used to use my bank account to pay for things on eBay and it did take a while for the funds to transfer. And if I sold anything it would go the the Paypal account and not my bank account so I would have to send it to the bank from the Paypal account. What I would recommend doing is what I ended up doing. Getting a debit card. I opened a checking account and with most of them nowadays you get a debit card as well, and you sign up your debit card on Paypal just like a credit card. Then on your payments will be instant.

That's just because its procedure for them to wait a few days. This is actually a security thing. You can put a credit card as a back up on your paypal account. This might speed up the process.

If you use master card it goes right through. The bank account way takes a few days, that is written on the disclaimer of pay pal

There is usually not a delay if you use a check card. If you just have your bank account in there though, it can take 3-4 days.

you have to have a valid credit card and a checking account listed on the account before the payment will go through instantly.

It is going through security clearances, be happy that both your bank and paypal are taking the time to make sure someone is not stealing your money.
