PayPal will ask how you want to pay. You can use your linked bank account (the classic) or your PayPal balance (if you’ve been selling old junk on eBay).
I recommend the bank account. It’s like paying with a check, but without the paper cuts. It takes 1-3 days to process, so don’t wait until the last second.
If you use your PayPal balance, it’s instant. But then you have zero money left for emergency burrito runs. Choose wisely.
Confirm, Breathe, and Celebrate
Double-check the amount. Is it more than zero? Good. Hit that final Submit button. Hear that sound? That’s the sound of financial responsibility.
You’ll get a confirmation email. Read it. Print it. Frame it. Okay, don’t frame it, but feel proud. You did the thing.
Now go close the tab. You’ve earned a victory lap. Maybe a cookie.
