someone was sending me money and I had a typo on the email I sent him so he can send the money on and that email didn't exist so when I noticed after he sent me the money I created a new account with the non existent email that i sent him.
what is supposed to happen to the money that was sent is it going to get transferred into my account or will it be refunded back to him and if it's going to be refunded how long will it take?

Firstly you are only allowed x2 paypal accounts if x1 is personal and x1 is a business account so best close it when you can.

Secondly if you can't verify the email address which you would not be able to if its non existent the funds could not complete.

They would be showing on the senders account as unclaimed with or withOUT a cancel option.

If there is a cancel option then tell them to use it and if not the funds should return back to them at 30 days.
