Scam refund

I got refunded like fifty bucks from a scammer and it should’ve gone back on my bank account but I don’t see it anywhere on my bank app transaction history. Should I give it more time? Am I going to get my money back at all or is it lost to virtual space?

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).
