I have recently cancelled a couple of orders, and there is a refund pending in my account, it has been pending for a while now and i have contacted the sellers and they have said that the refund has been taken from their account so why is it taking so long to go into mine?

A seller can only issue a refund via funds in their paypal balance or an echeque.
So if its an echeque it has to clear through from the sellers bank account > paypal > and then it is credited to you and the hold lifted.
This is because paypal don't "refund in advance" like they do when you pay for an item and they credit the seller in advance for you and then paypal take the wait for the funds to process through to them.
