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

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 have been issued 2 refunds by PayPal, but I have not seen the actual credit or refund in my PayPal account balance or my bank account. One refund was for an item I purchased using Paypal and I never received the item for $63. The other was for an item I purchased on Ebay, using PayPal and the seller canceled my order after I sent payment b/c the item was defected for $80 less a $20 Ebay coupon for a $60 refund. Would you please check the status of these 2 refunds? Thank you! Kind regards, Laurie Farr

Purchased a item two days ago. Seller aggregated to cancel order yesterday, but can't withdraw my money. £48! It's Christmas and I need that to get the right item! PayPal already charges 3% on transactions, and now holding onto my money. I won't be using PayPal again now, will use one of the other FREE payment portals.

PayPal holds your money to use it for their own purposes for a few days. It's how they make money off of using their services. There's no reason it shouldn't be instant, since it comes out if your account instant, other then that they hold it.

The time can vary as to the funding source the company uses, can be from 1 to 4 days or if an eCheck is used, when I can reciev my money.

In addition to the 7day period it takes to clear, you should also include 3-5 days to have it deposited back to your bank account.

This is very disappointing, Now we know why other cripto currencies have gained so much popularity.
