Where is my refund sent to?

How your money is refunded depends on how you made the original payment.

• If you paid with a credit card, the money is refunded to your card. If the card you paid with is closed or invalid, please contact the issuing bank, as the money will still be refunded to your credit card  account.
• If you paid with your bank, the money is refunded to your PayPal account balance and then automatically transferred to your bank account.
• If you paid with your PayPal balance, the money will be refunded to your PayPal balance.
• If you paid using a credit card and your PayPal account balance, the amount paid by the credit card is refunded to your card. The remaining amount is refunded to your PayPal account balance.
• If you paid with a debit card, the amount is refunded to your debit card. If the refund cannot be processed to your debit card, it will be applied to your PayPal balance.

Refunds to credit or debit cards can take up to 30 days depending on the card company involved.
