How do I move my refund back to my credit card?

I reserved a room using my Discover Card which happens to be the card linked to my PayPal account. I cancelled the room and the proprietor refunded me through PayPal. Is there anyway to move the funds from PayPal to my Discover credit card? I don’t want to have to pay the Discover bill and then have a credit with PayPal. Thanks

Hello @lannyhsu were you able to get this resolved or how long it took to be credited back to your cc or bank?. I am in a similar situation. I made a purchase online using my CC connected to my bank and I got a refund. I saw the refund in my Paypal activity, but it is not showing in my available balance on Paypal nor is it credited to my CC or bank. I need help regarding this, please.

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).

thank you @kernowlass

I will see how it goes between the next 30 days. I will update here if I got it back in my bank. I funded it with my CC to make payment initially.
