I read that differently. I thought he had paid the full 15k-but only used 5k out of the paypal account towards it.
oh here this might help:
Last week the judge let out Zimmerman on $150,000 bail, of which his family spent three days scrambling to post the $15,000 needed for the bail bondsman. They even mortgaged one of their properties to come up with the money. Its unclear why they did not use more of the PayPal funds.
It has been asked again and again why GZ let his parents put up their home as collateral when he had cash in the paypal account.
The answer is simple, I suspect: GZ intends to show up for trial, so he knows his parents' home isn't in danger. Any cash from the paypal account that he used for bond would not also be available for legal expenses.
As handled, there's a temporary lien on the property and plenty of money to pay for experts, tests, etc.
