paypal -partial refund - can it be reversed?

I bought an item on ebay and item was not as described. Seller quick to sort problem and has issued me with a partial refund. Paypal has said it will take 5-7 working days to clear. Can the seller reverse it? When should I leave feedback? When it clears?
Thank you in advanced

    Never leave any feedback until you actually receive your money back and everything is finished

    No, they can't claw it back once they've sent it (assuming they sent it as a refund, and not a payment.

    I'm a bit confused why it's taking 5-7 days, refunds are normally instant, and if the seller's not got the funds they go into a negative balance to allow the refund to go through immediately.
