Money from refund from Steam still not in PayPal balance

[Richie2018]

I got the refund on the first of October but its still not in my balance. What is taking so long??? Why hold my money for this long? What are they doing for so long? Its very frustrating that we have to wait days and days.

If you funded the original Paypal payment to the seller from your bank account or a card then once marked refunded/completed it will automatically go back to that bank account or card.
Normally it can take a few days up to a week to go back to a bank account. Paypal say allow 30 days for a card (1 billing cycle) but its rarely that long.
(Can vary according to country though).
