Thanks for using PayPal - the safer, easier way to pay and get paid online.
great right? wrong. the money never appeared. it does still is not showing in my paypal OR bank account (the money was pulled from my bank account to cover the cost). it doesnt even show as 'pending' 'temporary hold' or any of the other crap excuses for holding money that paypal comes up with. i held up my part of the bargain, the seller held up their part of the bargain, so whats going on? this was on jan. 12, so its been over a week. i needed that money on jan 12. i have NEVER had this kind of problem from paypal before! where is my money and what do i do from here??

Payments from bank accounts are not really instant. Sometimes the payment has not cleared to paypal's account, when the seller refunds.
When this happens, the refund is help up until the original payment totally clears.
Usually 3-5 days from the original payment date
