Receiving a refund for an eBay Buyer Protection case
Use this FAQ to help you through the refund process and what you can expect when getting back your money.
How do I get my refund?
When a case is decided in your favour, eBay will issue you a refund through PayPal. Your refund will be sent to the PayPal email address you used to purchase the item. Please allow a few days for the payment to reach your PayPal account.
Why don’t I see the refund in my PayPal account?
You should ensure the PayPal email address you used to purchase the item is confirmed with PayPal. If it’s not, please confirm the email address to receive your refund.
If you still don’t see your refund in your PayPal account, here’s what you can do:
 | Check that your eBay registered email address has been added to your PayPal account. |
 | If you have multiple PayPal accounts, please check the account connected with your eBay registered email address. |

What if I don’t have a PayPal account?
