Like the title says. It did show on paypal app being refunded. Was a accidental purchase. Then immediately cancelled and said the payment was refunded before it was debited from your accoun. My thing is. Will it still deduct from my bank account?

Pending refunds can only happen for two reasons.

1. The seller has issued a refund from their bank account which takes time to process.

2. You funded the payment to the seller using bank transfer. What PayPal do here is credit the recipient on your behalf (so there is no delay in despatching your item). Then if you receive a refund in the meantime they are unable to issue this until the original bank transfer completes.
