Hello, I know this comes up a lot and that it takes a while for refunds to process, but I was part refunded on an older transaction due to an underpaid postage fee. This refund has been in pending since 5th July. Says it's refunding to paypal balance. However, the original transaction was on 14th June and I paid with my debit card, which cleared on 17th June according to my bank statement, so the usual 'waiting for it to clear before it can be refunded' argument doesn't apply here. Any idea why it's taking so long? Will it go to my balance as it states, or direct to my card?  ... View more

Wow that **bleep**. I only sell on eBay now and then and in the past have waited for feedback/a grace period (where i assume they are satisfied) until using the funds, but atm there are a couple of things i'm watching that end before my buyer will have received the item, so googled refund options/if you can choose to use card instead of balance, but as you say you can't so if i buy something before feedback, then the buyer requires a refund, i guess i'd have to add funds to my account (as long as there was no processing time) or send them an extra payment - with allowances for transaction fee. Kinda harsh but i guess paypal is a business and an online bank so whatever.   ... View more
