The refund doesn't show up in my credit card

It's been three days since the seller refunded to my account. Paypal's page shows the money is refunded however my credit card didn't receive any refund from paypal.

When I linked my credit card to paypal, paypal charged my credit card one dollar and return it back immediately. So don't say it's my credit card company holding the money, it's more like paypal is holding the money.

Dates and transactions are important: what are they?

Refunds can take up to 1 billing cycle (30 days) to show on a credit card.

This is nothing new and is typical of most credit card issuers.

Yep as @FTS stated.

If you funded the original paypal payment to the seller with a debit or credit card then it won't go back to your paypal balance.

Once marked as completed it will automatically go back to your bank account or credit card but takes up to a week to process through to the bank and a bit longer for a c.c (paypal say allow 30 days but I have never waited longer than a week for mine).
