I just issued a full refund to a buyer in Portugal because I couldn't ship his item to him due to USPS prohibitions. On the transaction page for the item, the buyer's payment shows as Refunded in the Original Transaction box at the top. The Related Transactions box shows the refund as Pending and Uncleared (adding funds from Bank Account) because it is an eCheck that won't clear until January 31 (4 days from now). Why was the refund issued as an eCheck? Is it because I had no PayPal balance? Does this mean the buyer won't receive the money until the eCheck clears or is his refund immediate? Is it just on my end that I see this? There is a statement on the refund page: To help transfer money faster in the future, you can add a backup payment method. I have several credit cards on file with PayPal and all have updated info. Is there a way to add a backup payment method when issuing a refund? I didn't see any options when I issued the refund. Thanks for any help. BigHi
