Refund made through PayPal while not signed in?

Hi there! 

 

I recently received a refund through a seller (at least so they say.. they attached screenshots of the refund), but I am not seeing the refund in my bank account nor my PayPal... I am wondering if this has anything to do with the fact that I didn't log into my account to complete the payment? Any clue on what to do? Thanks so much!

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 (even if you paid as a guest buyer).
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).
