Mine automatically does it when I buy something.
It's like just paying with my debit card, but with paypal inbetween

you guys using moneypak's should just get a back account. most bank's offer them free.

nope

go to walgreens, walmart, smiths, whatever you have and on the rack of gift cards (where you would find itunes cards and such) there are Green Dot MoneyPaks. You take it up to the cash register and ask for an amount that you want on it. There is a 4.95 service fee but you can buy stuff on the same day, and pay for it with cash. Pretty sick.

If you dont have any money in your paypal account then it automatically withdraws funds from your bank account
