Temporary Hold Information: This temporary hold was placed because your Instant Transfer payment was denied, cancelled, or refunded.The funds from this payment cannot be released until they have arrived from your bank account, which usually takes 3-4 business days.

I sent an instant transfer using my checking account funds to someone for a computer. What happend was when said person tested computer, it was not working so he sent me a refund. Now it says it's on hold however it was already debited out of my checking account. Any ideas on when I may receive my refund from Paypal? I know for a fact that the seller has nothing to do with it at this point so I am not concerned with him. It's Paypal's hold that I'm wondering about. Thanks in advance.

shouldn't be but a few days. I just had this happen to me.

They debited your bank account but the funds didn't actually show up in Paypal account for a couple days. When they do show up, they will be put back in your bank account (which will be another 3-4 days)

edit, just looked at my account. placed on hold the 22nd, released the 26. but they didn't put it back in my bank account but left it in paypal. darn them
