I'm having a little problem figuring out how to get my money back, Here's the scenario:

1) Sent money from bank account with paypal to person.

2) Person cancels payment because of item was already sold

3) The money has been removed from the bank account.

4) The money is not in paypal and hasn't "cleared" yet.

In another few days will it either A) go into paypal balance, b) return to bank account since it's been cancelled.

I realize they are holding my money for "float", I just would like to know where it is going to end up.

Thanks
 
Not sure exactly what's happening.

Number 2 in your post - Did the seller refund the buyer's payment?

Or did the buyer cancel the payment to the seller?

I had a scenario the other day where I sold an item and the person paid me through Paypal. My paypal account showed that funds had been received but not cleared. It took three days for the funds to show as "cleared" at which time the balance of my paypal account went up. My hunch is that in a few days the money will show as available in your Paypal account and then you will have to do a withdrawal (manually request a transfer to your account)from there. Pretty sure that's the way it will work.

Hope it helps.

With some types of PayPal transactions, it takes a few days for the funds to "clear". Until then, the transaction is shown as Pending in your PayPal account.

Within 3-4 days the funds should show in your PayPal account as Completed instead of Pending, and your PayPal balance will reflect the additional funds being in your account and available for your use.
