Refunded still says I am negative

## Refound?! Still Negative? This PayPal Bug Has Me Frustrated!

### By [Your Name] – October 26, 2023

So, here’s a little tale of woe that I just had to share. I recently ordered something from Fabletics, and to be honest, it wasn’t quite what I expected. Never fear, because I requested a refund, and (praise be!) Fabletics processed it quickly. But here’s the kicker: despite the refund, my PayPal balance is STILL NEGATIVE!

Talk about a head-scratcher!

**Let me lay it out for you:**

* I made a purchase on Fabletics through PayPal.
* I requested a refund, which Fabletics confirmed they processed.
* The refund should have cancelled out the original purchase, right?

Enter the dreaded negative balance. It’s been three days since the refund, and I’m still showing a negative balance that only reflects the Fabletics purchase. No new transactions, just this stubborn negative number.

My first thought? “PayPal processing time.” I know refunds can sometimes take a few days to show up. But three days? That’s pushing it!

I took a peek at my transaction history, hoping to find some clue. And wouldn’t you know it, the Fabletics purchase was listed as “pending”, while the refund was noted as “completed”!

It’s like they were playing musical transactions!

**Of course, I did what any helpless human would do: I contacted PayPal.** Their support team was helpful but couldn’t find anything immediately wrong with my account. They suggested it might be a delay between Fabletics and PayPal, but honestly, it’s frustrating.

**Lessons Learned (So Far):**

This whole experience has made me realize the importance of keeping a close eye on my PayPal transactions, especially pending ones. And if you ever find yourself in a similar situation, don’t hesitate to reach out to PayPal for help!
