Paypal refund not showing up anywhere?

Question

Hi there,

I got a refund from a website that i paid via Paypal & decided i wanted a refund, i got an email from paypal saying the money had been refunded so checked my account & nothing has shown up just that i've been refunded & the status has completed, there's nothing on my bank account either.

When should i be able to see the refund.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

It doesn't refund to your bank account, it refunds to your paypal account. It should show up in the paypal balance, not your bank balance, even if the two are linked.

Answer 2

They usually take a long time to process refunds. It should appear first in your Paypal account, then maybe in your bank account or credit card. Beware of fraud emails that appear to be from Paypal, but aren’t.

You could try emailing Paypal. They do respond sometimes, but with basic answers. Most responses I get from Paypal are dumb, wrong, or written by complete retards.

Answer 3

Sometimes it takes a couple of day, so be patient, you will get it.

Answer 4

Sometimes it takes awhile to show up, however, usually when paypal has emailed you, the amount is already in your account.  Check again, and email Paypal.
