Dear Younes Ouma,
Thank you for contacting PayPal Customer Support.    


After reviewing your account, we found that transaction amount $257.91 USD   is an authorization and not a refund to your credit card. An authorization is a temporary hold of money and not a completed charge. Please contact your credit card issuer to request they release authorization [Secret info]  as we cannot complete it.


It is my pleasure to assist you. Thank you for choosing PayPal.

As you can see, this is unacceptable service. After reaching out to PayPal through email, phone, and even the community forums, I have received different information from each source. I’m at a loss for what to do next. PayPal is holding my money, and I can’t locate it or get it back in my account. I contacted my bank, and they confirmed that PayPal is responsible for issuing the refund, which should be returned to my Linked credit card. At this point, it feels like PayPal is making things difficult for eBay customers. This is unfair, and I want my money back.
