How does Paypal deal with refunds

[sagecelt]

What happens when a refund is made for a payment made by Paypal using my CC.  Paypal says the transaction is completed but the refund does not appear in my CC transaction list.

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).
