Paypal... how long till my refund clears?

[spetsnazdave87]

Having some problems here and was hoping someone would know

A little while ago agreed to buy an M249 off a Chris bown off these forums. The 249 never arrived and he stopped communicating, while in possession of £375 of my money. I believe that he was trying to rip me off.

I warned him Id be approaching small claims, and launched a paypal dispute against him.

On 4th of May he appeared to offer a refund.

However, on my paypal the refund is currently 'pending'.

Now, Im not sure as Ive never had to get a refund before, but how long is the refund supposed to take to clear? I cant get in contact with paypal as their FAQ, email and phone help systems seem completely incomprehensible.

I dont even know 100% for sure that hes even given me a refund! The dispute is currently 'being reviewed by paypal', and has been since the 4th...

Any advice anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated.

By the by, AVOID DEALING WITH CBOWN on these forums as he is not to be trusted.

Thanks

Dave

Dont panic mate, if the funds are coming form his bank account it usually takes 10 days.

Yeah, Ive been through the same Dave. As Devlin says you should be right in 10 days. Think it took about 12-13 days for mine for some odd reason.
