Background:
Earlier today I went to him to purchase 120M of 07GP for $120 PayPal, with myself paying the transaction fee's. After wasting my time with him for about thirty minutes, he said his provider could not give him the money, so he would refund me the money. He did do that, and I only received $118.80 back because PayPal charged another $1.20 transaction fee. I was frustrated by this and asked for the fee to be paid by him since he did waste my time and whatnot. But at the end of the day, he didn't and I didn't care much. But I was suspicious that the PayPal refund was still pending and not showing up in my balance. Fast forward maybe six hours later, I came back home to check my PayPal balance and see if it was no longer pending, but to my surprise it still was. I contacted him about that and he said not his fault and it's PayPal. I decided to do my own research and came to the conclusion that the only reason refunds pend is when someone sends a refund from their bank or an eCheck (which can be a declined transaction in the near future). This frustrates me because I sent my money through PayPal balance, meaning the refund should have been in PayPal balance and instant. I would like my money now, as this is taking a long time and now I'm worried that PayPal will be limiting my account due to him and I will lose ALL balance on the account, not just the $120 I sent him.

PayPal answer to pending refunds:
"Everyone,
If the status of your refund is "Pending," this means that the seller did not have the funds actively on hand and a bank transfer has been initiated to capture the funds and send them to you. Assuming the seller is in the US, this process usually takes three to five business days, barring any unexpected banking delays. During this period, PayPal does not have control of the funds and is still waiting for them from the bank.
Hope this helps,
Adrian"
