Hi @teddybear176-_ and @Nxkoxa2,
Thank you both for joining the PayPal Community and welcome! I understand that you are experiencing uncertainty regarding the time frame for a refund, and I'll be happy to help!
If the payment is cancelled while the funds are still in transit from your bank, the refund will wait for that process to complete before it is returned. Bank transfers may take a few days in each direction. As it is now 5 days since your post, you likely have seen the funds return to your bank, but it could also take a couple more days potentially. If the funds do not return after that time, feel free to contact Customer Service to inquire. You can find your contact options by clicking Contact at the bottom of the PayPal website.
I hope it's already resolved at this point!
Olivia
