I've taken the trouble to contact the seller now. This is what he describes happens "... It seems it was an echeque that was sent to you. However, all I did was press the ‘refund’ button within PayPal. Its obviously Paypal's way of hanging on to your cash for a good while. I expected the refund to be exactly the same as when you pay me, immediate." So, other readers of this forum, if you're looking for a refund, beware this trap as it clearly led my seller into pressing the 'Refund' button, which in turn kept the money inside Paypal's coffers for at least 7 days So come on Paypal - can one of your moderators be kind enough to document here exactly how to do a refund such that the buyer gets their money back as quickly as possible?
