paypal sending refund to canceled creditcard

[kitschdan]

I won two disputes recently, and when I got the e-mails from ebay that said they were crediting me, it said that I would get the money back credited to my paypal account.

So when my checkcard stopped working at the grocery store, I didn't think anything of going to the bank to get a new one.

Now when I logged into paypal this morning I see they have credited the amounts back to my now-canceled old check card that stopped working.  I don't see my refund $ on my bank statement online.

I have a different creditcard # now, and I'm not sure what to do.  Will the change of card number block me from receiving my refund money?   Should I wait to put the new card number onto my paypal account?   or will paypal refund my money onto the new checkcard number if I put that in?  I'm afraid to update my paypal account with the new # until I get my money back from these refunds, but I don't know if the money will go back to a canceled card #.

From my experience as long as the checking or credit account that the card drafted from is still open, the refunded transaction will post back to that same account.

I hope this helps

PayPal just recently ruled in my favor over a dispute I recently made.  They said that they would put the funds on hold while they were investigating but then I eventually still got docked for the money from my bank account.  So how long before I see the amount refunded back into my bank account?  Several business days?
