I have a forum friend that I sent $5728 dollars to last week via Friends and Family. He sent it back the next day in the same method as a refund and I saw it as a +$5728 to my account dashboard. I assumed that I could just leave it in my PayPal Account.
Now today I can't seem to find it, my account only shows that the money is a -$5728, where did it go?? My bank account does not show the money as back in yet. Please Help!!!

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).
