I would advise using your credit card if you don't have the funds immediately available.

Not only will the payment process instantly, but you will have double Buyer Protection, from PP and from your credit card chargeback programme.

You have up to 96 hours (four days) to pay before the seller can open an Unpaid Item Dispute. It would be polite to let your seller know if you are not paying immediately and why. Santa is watching.

At the time of the instant paypal payment sufficient funds must be in the linked bank account to cover the expense as well as at the end of the transaction process.
