Can I change where refund goes?

[Mumosho]

I got a refund recently, but I want the money to be deposited in my PayPal balance, not my bank account. The refund is currently pending. Is there any way to switch it so it goes to my balance instead?

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).
