Where Is My Refund

I was refunded $3,500 from a US company (I'm an Australian) 7 days ago. PayPal has since advised that the refund is complete, though the money is not in my account nor my card. Why is this? Thank you.

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).
