The only way to send a refund if you don't have funds in your paypal balance is by echeque.

yeah i do have the funds my bank was just slow in updating , i thought it was in my account already but obviously wasnt.

iv got the money now,do you know how i could cancel this refund echeque ?

You can cancel echeques but not refunded echeques.

ok well i have cancelled the direct debit that was created by doing the echeque so what will happen know the cheque just bounce? and will i be able to cancel this by ringing paypal?

thanks for your comments!

OK if you have cancelled the direct debit then yes the echeque will probably fail.

yeah would paypal be able to help me out if i ring them ? by cancelling it
