Refund

[Jshrys7]

How many days should paypal refund my money? The seller refunded my money, i pay using paypal balance.

Does the Refund Status say Pending or Temporary Hold or just “Hold”?

It says refund in progress, and it has a date of 27 Oct 14. Can it be faster? I used my paypal balance but the seller refunded using credit card.

Pending refunds can only happen for two reasons.

1. The seller has issued a refund from their bank account/card which takes time to process.

2. You funded the payment to the seller using bank transfer. What PayPal do here is credit the recipient on your behalf (so there is no delay in despatching your item). Then if you receive a refund in the meantime they are unable to issue this until the original bank transfer completes.

You can't, you wait for the refund to process through the system.
