Refund to an unknown credit card

[syafie]

Hi, I am expecting a refund from a seller. I have just received an email from Paypal advising that the funds was refunded to a Mastercard. Problem is, I have never own a Mastercard before and on my Wallet, only Visa card and Direct Debit is linked. Anyone can shed light on this?

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).
