Reversal

[Bexperl]

I issued a refund for a payment that wasn’t meant to be sent to me. It says the refund was sent and completed & the money was take out of my paypal balance and everything. How long until the sender sees the refund?

Should get an immediate email but......

If you funded the original Paypal 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).
