kengrA friend needed some money urgently tonight. I didn't have cash on hand but I offered to Paypal it to her.
She complained that that'd take a couple days and this might not be fast enough, but she gave me her info anyway.
I recalled something from sending money via paypal to a few people and sites. I'd noticed that the one that defaulted to my bank card posted quickly, while the ones that used "bankl balance" took a day or three.
So when I went to "send money to a friend". I chose my card rather than "bank balance. It cost me 88 cents on top of what I was sending, but if it worked, it'd be worth it.
Sure enough I checked my bank account and the charge was already pending. and when she checked her Paypal it was there.
also, she discovered that for a 25 cent charge she could get the money moved to her bank account "immediately". Which did work.
She's overjoyed and is even gonna pay me the 88 cents when she pays me back.
I figured that you folks might want to know how to speed things up a bit (at some extra cost, but hey)
