I know that there are always paypal questions on here, but I have yet another one...
I have yet to "activate" my account. How do I transfer the fund to my "primary account"? I'm trying to buy my cake servers and I'm fully lost!
I knew that would be the best place to go cause you girls do it too. What do I do????????????? Thanks.

Activating your acct. normally means that you have to verify yourself ... ie verify to pay pal that the bank account info that you are supplying is actually yours.

You don't transfer funds to your primary acct. Paypal does. You supply your account info - ie your bank acct. number, transiti number etc., they will make two small deposits to your account. Once you know what those two deposits are (when you see the deposit amounts either online or on your bank statement), you can then sign back into Paypal to verify your acct. Then you can start shopping using your acct. as a funding source.

Note: If your funding source is your bank acct. it may take up a week for the monies to actually be transferred to the vendor. They don't ship until the transfer has been completed.

but ..... if you supply a credit card number as your funding source, the transaction is processed immediately.

If you have yet to activate your account you may have to recreate it. When you activate your account they will ask you to verify a small deposit they made into your credit card or checking account (which ever you attached to the acct when you signed up), that is pretty much it.

Like Elizabeth said; once you have done that you can buy things online with the funds in your PayPal account, or your can "Withdraw" funds and deposit them into your checking or credit card account.
