Buying Gems with PayPal?

Ok, so real quick I just have a question regarding purchasing gems with PayPal.

I basically tried to pay through instant-bank transaction through paypal, but it just said “Merchant does not accept non-instant bank transactions”. So now I’m deciding if I should add money to my paypal from my bank, only question is: Will that work to buy gems via paypal?

I just want to know if it works that way too, because I’d rather not use debit/credit card.

EDIT: Ok so I have sent in a ticket regarding this issue the same day I made this thread. I was told it was escalated for further evaluation.
My bank is confirmed and my PayPal is verified, I am having issues now with wanting to put money into the PayPal account itself due to time (I don’t have 3-7 days to wait for transfer to the account for personal reasons).

I asked in my ticket and I’ll ask again here. I use Internet Explorer as my web browser; I get the feeling the transaction may be failing because of that reason. So perhaps if I use Chrome or Firefox for the purchase, maybe that will work?

I am not certain about this, so I’d be delighted if you update the thread if you learn more. What I’m wondering is: Maybe the “bank transfer” method of PayPal payment isn’t considered instant, because PayPal has to ping the bank and get the money transferred. On the other hand, a CC instantly pays the bill through PayPal. That may be the difference, but again, I’m not certain.

I can ask our team if you need me to do so!
