Fucking annoying that, but not suss: when someone refunds the original
transaction, PP drag their heels to earn a buck.

When I've refunded people, I send them the money in a separate
transaction to avoid the delay.

Just had this. Bought some pricey carbon TT bars. Bought from the US for delivery to Norway. SO when you take into account Norwegian customs being slow. It was always going to take a while. I waited the standard DHL 5 weeks. Notified the seller that they hadnt turned up, and they refunded me. Brilliant. Especially as I didnt really want the bars anymore, and was going to have to sell them on locally.

But Nothing came into my account. I had an offical looking email, and clicking the transaction on Ebay.com showed it as refunded. But I didnt physically have any Money in my account. After a few days it started to freak me out a bit. Then it turned up. How can sending Money take moments, yet refunds take several days. Twats.

If you dig into this the line they spin is that the delay is down to money laundering checks. Alternatively they will blame the banks or the card schemes but as there's no real transparency it leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
