How long does it take for a pending refund to show on your PayPal account? Recently refunded by Lowe’s for an item, given a receipt to prove it. There is no refund or refund pending showing on my PayPal account.

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).

I understand that. My question is ( was) would the refund show right away in my PayPal account as pending? It shows zero refund processing activity- as if it was never initiated. I have a receipt from the seller( Lowes) that shows transaction for refund to paypal but paypal shows( and claims) there is no such transaction pending.
