Hey, so a couple days ago I purchased two $100 iTunes gift cards that were on sale for $90 from Best Buy. When I bought the first one everything was fine, but when I went ahead and attempted to purchase another one an E-mail was sent to me about how I needed to update my credit card information. The thing about that is I did not have a credit card/debit card or a bank account linked, I just used my paypal balance that I had. After the E-mail was sent to me about how I needed to update my information I cancelled the order and when I went to check to see if I got my refund all it says on my activity log is that a pending authorization is in progress. Aren’t refunds instant when PayPal balance is used? Can someone give me an exact time frame on when I can receive my funds? Thanks, Edward

Anyone have an idea on why my authorization is still pending? Will I have to wait 3-5 business days before I get my refund or is there something wrong?
Thanks, Edward
