When do you receive a refund from a cancelled item the seller cancelled

[chma-6624]

I won a bid but received an email saying my item had been cancelled I had already paid for the item this is my first proper time using the bidding system on ebay. The item was cancelled on Saturday 10th I wouldn't usually worry but it's quite a large amount I spent on the item which was cancelled 

thank you in advance

Refunds return to the source of the payment.

Refunds to your PayPal account usually take 3 to 5 business days to go through.

Have you looked directly in your PayPal account? You should see some sign of a refund there.

Has the Paid symbol changed to Refund? Does the transaction say ‘Pending’? Either would indicate that a refund is on the way.

If you paid by debit card then refunds can take 7 days to show in your card account.

Refunds to payment by credit card can take 30 days to show in that card account.
