I'm not seeing my refund yet. How long does it take?

[Red5oxFan13]

I purchased a couple things a few days ago for around $145 and it apparently went through, but then the company canceled the transaction and issued me a refund. I got the email from the company and paypal saying my refund was issued. When I look on my recent payment history on paypal it shows the transaction and it says refunded but the money is not in my bank account or my paypal account.

I paid directly from my bank account not a credit card. How long will it be for me to see my refund?

I was charged for two items (209 each). Both were supposed to be refunded but only one has been. It has now been a month and 6 six but paypal states it's been issued and completed.

Money was taken out of my account and the seller said he sent refund back to paypal, for several days I saw the status pending later on removed, where is my money. The sellers laughing at me as I understand it was a scam and 18 people for one month gave him negative feedback and informed about scam. I don't understand paypal, I would like to open case, paypal does not admit me to do that, on ebay case was closed and I can not re-open it, Pls help, what

Here is what Paypal has to say:

Refunds will remain pending until the seller's funds have cleared their bank.

Refunds made less than 60 days after payment will refund to your credit card if it was the original source of payment. Refunds may take 30 days to appear on your credit card statement. Payments from other sources are refunded to your PayPal balance.

30 DAYS!! this is insane.. waiting on 2 refunds of 360$ I needmy money now.. this sucks

i wonder also as i have a237 dollar refund, it shows completed but my bank says they nothing of it, paypal stop using our money to collect interest...

I'm concerned at the number of people with the same problem. I returned mechandise on May 2nd to a well known store and as of today (May 17th),  have not received my $500+ refund. Customer service at the store traced the transaction and tells me that refund went to my bank on May 2 at midnight. So, where is it? I'm assuming "my bank" is whatever bank PayPal is using. The representaive I talked with at PayPal said that this has increasingly become an issue during the last three months. He suggested that I go to the store with my return receipt. I doubt that this will help given that they have already sent the information to the bank. They have done their part in a timely fashion. The problem would appear to lie with the bank.

Like many of you, I'm running a small business and really can't afford to have money that I could be using for inventory tied up for weeks. I'm told this could take a month. If I return additional inventory for a refund, I will tie up more money that, again, is money I would be putting back into my business to generate more revenue.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
