Payment Refunded With No Paypal Account?

My daughter bout something with her PNC debit card. Item arrived damaged, so the seller refunded her money back via PayPal. Only problem is, she doesn’t even have a PayPal account. Do you know where the money went? It’s not on the card she bought it with. Thanks in advance! 🙂

If you funded the original Paypal payment to the seller from your bank account or a card then once marked refunded/completed it will automatically go back to that bank account or card.
Normally it can take a few days up to a week to go back to a bank account and a bit longer for a card, Paypal say allow 30 days for a card (1 billing cycle) but its rarely that long.
(Can vary according to country though).
