When you purchase, the confirmation email shows a Discover card. Also, if you return, it says going back to your Discover card. In reality, the money exchanged is coming from and going back into your PayPal account.” Thankfully what I needed to return didn’t cost too much so I took my chances and did the return. In store they had no clue what I was talking about, but the money did go back to PayPal and was refunded to my card.
