Hi i paid for an item on paypal i realised i sent it to the wrong person email address so i cancelled the transaction and it said i will get it back in August and i have had the transaction go out of my card so my question is how long will it take for the refund to go back onto my cardas never had this happen before

Gosh you were lucky, if that mis-spelled email address was valid to another person you 'may' have lost your money !!

Luckily you could cancel, so when you cancel a payment those funds can't do a u-turn > they have to process through to paypal who will as the transaction was cancelled return them to your funding source (if you paid from your bank account or with a card), or credit your paypal balance (if it was funded from that balance), but that takes a few days and sometimes up to a week.

Yeah I cancelled it as soon as I realised it was wrong luckily the the email I entered doesn't exist as its states so hopefully get it back soon as its alot to lose (41.00) might not seem alot but its alot of money for me to lose
