Refunds go back to your funding source and they only go back to your paypal balance if you paid via instant bank transfer.
BUT if you funded the payment with a debit or credit card then it will automatically go back there but takes about a week or so to do so.
You can't ask a seller to refund to another email addy/paypal account.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.
