Paypal reverse on hold

Hi


On the 4th December, I bought a tablet on Ebay and paid for it using paypal. I don't know why, but the seller declined to accept my payment. I was then given an option of cancelling the payment, which I decided to use, considering the seller didn't want my money!

This was put on hold by Paypal on the 4th December and this is still the case, as of the 7th December. This is all the information I have received. ate:

PayPal has placed a temporary hold while we're reviewing it. We'll contact you shortly with further information.


Does anyone have any advice on what i can do, or do I just need to be patient and wait for paypal to contact me?

Thanks in advance

    Hi

    I've just spoken to paypal (didn't know you could ring them, that's a revelation!), the money will be returned and it's likely that the seller gave the wrong e-mail, so the money just sat there. Mystery solved!
