Withdrawal to expired debit card

[theogrigore]

I made a withdrawal from my PayPal account and completely forgot that the debit card attached to this account was replaced by my bank with a new one. Basically, i have the same bank account, only a different card number attached to it.

What should I do to get my money back?

Please help

Check with your bank first to see if anything can be done on their side.  With PayPal if funds are sent to an expired source, they are eventually returned, it may just take a while.

Thanks so much for your reply. I spoke to the bank rep today, she said that there is nothing they can do since that credit card has been destroyed. What i really wanted to know is if this amount of money will return to my PP account so i can withdraw it to my new credit card.

I actually got a reply from PayPal today which is REALLY confusing:

"Due to banking regulations a refund of a payment must be sent to the card from which the payment originated. Even when it has been cancelled or has expired, the refund is returned to your card and will be handled by your card issuer.

To receive your refund, please contact your card issuer and ask them to locate the refunded amount and to deposit it in your account.

PayPal makes every effort to ensure that refunds to cards are processed in a timely manner. Most refunds will be visible for your card issuer within 2-5 business days; however it might take up to 30 business days for the refund to be fully processed by your card issuer. I recommend that you contact your card issuer once 30 days have passed, to confirm that you have received your refund." 

"Even when it has been cancelled or has expired, the refund is returned to your card and will be handled by your card issuer." - what card?

"Due to banking regulations a refund of a payment must be sent to the card from which the payment originated." - isn't the payment originated from PayPal?

I spoke to a bank representative yesterday and she told me that since that credit card has been destroyed, the money will be returned to my PayPal account.
