I believe I have been scammed, thought I was purchasing legitimate tickets and the recipient was from Asia (tickets bought in UK) the person refunded the amount, is this something I should be concerned about? I hadn't even asked for a refund at this stage, can they cancel this?

Then they can't cancel it...............If you funded the original Paypal payment to the seller from your bank account or a card then once marked refunded/completed it will automatically go back to that bank account or card.
Normally it can take a few days up to a week to go back to a bank account. Paypal say allow 30 days for a card (1 billing cycle) but its rarely that long.
(Can vary according to country though).
