I recently purchased a prepaid American express gift that had $35 in it and tried setting it up to my Paypal account. It kept saying that it was unable to verify the card so I tried 3 times and kept getting the same message so I decided to just forget about it. So I go to check the balance of the card and it said that I was charged $1 for each time I tried to verify my card so now it says I have $32. I've used Paypal before successfully with a vanilla visa gift card on the same account and got charged $1 and got it back within a matter of minutes. My question is when will I get my $3 worth of verification fees refunded back to my card since it wasn't able to be verified with Paypal and it has been about 9 hours. When I go to check my balance on my American express gift card it says pending transaction next to each $1 that was deducted. Does mean I will get my money refunded and if so why is this taking to long to get the $3 back?
