Recently, I was involved in a scam where I had to create this new account on paypal to make the payment. What I understood is that new accounts payments are put on hold for 21 days (but if verified, will complete after 7?). Somehow I had convinced the scammer to refund the payment and I have a legitimate, valid screenshot of the refund that I confirmed to be true (Paypal had also confirmed that there was a refund initiated). My question is how soon will I get the refund? and how does it work with Paypal? It should go to Paypal first and then to the seller correct? But if it has not reached Paypal and the seller had already refunded the payment, how will it come back to my account? (I used a debit card if that is any help).
