REFUND PENDING UNTIL SPECIFIC DATE?

[Hannahilj]

Hello basically I bought something off ebay using a debit card payment through Paypal a few weeks ago. The item cost £149.99 and turned out to be faulty and I was refunded on Wednesday this week.. I had the usual email from Paypal confirming the refund and I gave it two days to reach by bank. I just checked my Paypal account and it says it's not even completed it's Pending until the 29th of this month apparently? I was relying on this refund for something in particular and I'm confused as to why Paypal has taken it upon itself as to which day I should have access to my money? Can anyone tell me exactly what's going on or when I'll have the money, not just a load of jargon. Thanks

Paypal just give you an estimate to when you should expect your money back.

It all depends on the sellers account, and whether he has money available on his paypal account which in your case looks like he doesn't.

So what happens is, the refund you are expecting is coming out of his bank account.

That should take about 5-7 days.

And it could take longer, thats just an estimate aswell.
