I recently recieved a refund and it said that it will be transfered back to my debit cards. I look at my paypal account and the status of the refunds says "complete" but when i look at the balance of my debit cards the money does not appear. I just wanted to know how long doe sthis normally take to show up?

I'm in the same boat as you. I have sent a couple of items back that I bought, and I'm not seeing my refund money anywhere. How long does it actually take to see the money go back into my paypal credit?

Is anyone starting to wonder if Paypal is a raquet and they are sitting on money ON PURPOSE?

I am having the same probelm. It says my refund has been completed but yet I still havent recieved any money. it says it will be put back on my credit card...for one i used my debit card so it should go back to my bank account & 2 i contacted the buyer & he says the money has already been taken from him but yet I still havent recieved it....now where is my money? because paypal has to have it somewhere.....I have $311.00 floating around & want it back.... this is rediculous. They should make it an immidiate transaction. Its very frustrating...if anyone finds out anything of how long it takes or anything, please let me know. 🙂 thanks.

It will take as long as PayPal can get away with keeping it.  My transaction was an immediate one from zappos and canceled within 2 minutes of the transaction, Zappos immediately posted that to my paypal account but Paypal continued trying to take the money from me, then once they took it, it took over 10 days to get back...seems that paypal is now so big they can do as they please.  There are many other options out there for you, if you use your cc you can get immediate action on any transaction through your carrier.  What appeal does pay pal have anymore?  I can't say since I have read comments on here that if you use your checking account to pay for a transaction then you aren't covered for the only reasons I can think of that someone would use PayPal in the first place, from fraud and being sold something that isn't as advertised.
