Hi @Story1,

Welcome to our Community!

In such a case the received , your friend, should issue a refund or send it back to you. They must have accepted it on to their PayPal account, as unaccepted payment usually reversed after 30 days. If no action is taken on their account , the funds will remain in their PayPal balance. 

Thanks

Martin
