How to get refunds as PayPal credit?

If I paid using a debit card and then removed it and then got a refund from the seller all in the same day. Will I be able to get the refund as PayPal credit because it says that if the refund goes back to the card it could take up to 30 days but if I get it as credit it could take only 5 days. I would personally rather to be given to refund as Paypal credit.

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 and a bit longer for a card, Paypal say allow 30 days for a card (1 billing cycle) but its rarely that long.
(Can vary according to country though).
