PayPal Account is Permanently Limited - How will the refund process work?

I wanted to ask, my PayPal account is limited and I would like to request a refund for an event on Ticketmaster that has been postponed. I purchased the tickets through my PayPal account but my PayPal account is now limited so I was wondering how would the refund process work in this case? Would the money just be refunded to my original form of payment which I paid using my checking account, or would it be refunded as a balance to my PayPal account? My PayPal account is restricted so I’m worried that I won’t get access to the money after it has been refunded.

If you funded the original payment to the seller from your bank account or a card then once marked refunded/completed it will automatically go back to that bank account or card.
Normally it can take a few days up to a week to go back to a bank account and a bit longer for a card, Paypal say allow 30 days for a card (1 billing cycle) but its rarely that long.
(Can vary according to country though).
