Ruth, thanks for your help. The number you have given isnt active or doesnt exist. Probably because it is a number for US customers.  Hopefully someone else will know more and write back. ... View more

Crap. I didnt do the Withdraw cause i didnt know that's how you do it. I assumed automatically that issuing a refund means returning the money where it came from (my bank account). When i look up the details of the refund transaction, it say my paypal paid in full some company Blue Media SA (that's the company dealing with paypal transactions for my country - Poland). Does this mean this company is keeping my money at this point and theyre responsible for putting it back into my account? ... View more

How long did you have to wait for the money to show up in your bank account? Is there a difference between returning the money by "issue refund" or by "withdraw". Because it was my first time dealing with something like this and i just clicked "issue refund". Just to make it clear -  the transactions in question are between my paypal and my bank account.   ps. when i click to see the details of the refund transaction, the subject of the transaction is "you have send $xxxx to Blue Media SA with PayPal". (Blue Media SA is the company dealing with Paypay transactions for my country). Does this mean Blue Media SA is holding my money hostage and they are the ones who are going to put it back into my bank account? ... View more

Hi! I set up a paypal account today cause i wanted to buy a plane ticket (wanted to avoid the credit card fee). So i transfered the money from my bank account (from my debit card attached to my bank account) into my paypal. It went smoothly and within minutes i had money on my new paypal account. For some reason i was unable to purchase the plane ticket with my paypal so i wanted to return the money back into my bank account via my debit card. So i clicked "issue refund" in my paypal account and within a minute my paypal balance was back to zero, but the money isnt showing up in my bank account. I guess im nervous cause i was expecting an almost immediate refund. How long does this process take? I understand it's Sunday and the refund probably wont show up in my bank account today, but can i relax and have assurance that it will eventually go back to my bank account? Is this what it normally looks like? ... View more
