Hi there Synaesthoenix.
Welcome to the Community!
When a refund is processed on a payment through PayPal, there are different ways that the payment can be refunded. You can find more information on this here.
We can initiate a trace on a refund if it hasn't shown in your bank or on PayPal yet. I would advise that you should contact eBay directly if you had filed a case on eBay. EBay will then be able to initiate a trace on the refund that has been processed through the case.
Alternatively, you can contact PayPal directly and we can look into your refund for you to determine where your refund has been sent to. This can be done through the 'Help & Contact' icon at the bottom of any PayPal webpage.
I hope this helps.
David.
