Hi @murshiddeez 

 

Welcome to PayPal Community. Based from what you've explained, it seemed that the person from US is sending you money/payment instead of issuing a refund. You can direct him to this page How do I issue a full or partial refund?  or forward to him this link 

https://www.paypal.com/us/smarthelp/article/how-do-i-issue-a-full-or-partial-refund-faq780   for the instructions on how to issue a refund correctly. Hope this helps. Keep safe!

Hello thank you for the help but your link provided are broken or not valid when i visit them? I’ll tell you my problem? I paid for web hosting directly from my debit card online but they are not able to refund me back to card they keep telling me they that they are finding an error called do not honor related to some visa policy mandate updated on 2019 and they asked me to check with my bank and to lift the hold that i could get my refund when I contacted the bank they told me they’re is no such barrier or holds in my card anyone can refund I too use to get any refunds without any issues but in this case two different web hosting are saying me the same thing they are not able to refund back to my card. I have no idea of what to do and that’s why I opened a paypal account please do help me i need the refund some way! And when i provide them my paypal they are telling me they get the error i mentioned of.
