Maybe I'm the only moron when it comes to PP, but in case there are others I thought I'd pass this along so you don't come to know my pain ;)

IF you receive a refund from PP, you haven't really received a refund, you have to go ACCEPT the refund & if you don't ACCEPT the refund it expires in 10 days. And if it expires, the persons sending the refund does NOT by PP policy have to offer it to you again.

I'm out like 2 bucks, but I'm glad that is the amount I learned this valuable lesson on.

Thought I'd pass it on. (and pretend I'm not the only PP dork around)

you're not alone - I did the same thing for over 5 bucks. Is that new?

I didn't know that.

Thanks for the heads up.

I just found this out too, but even after I accepted the refund in time, there was a hold on it for 4 days.

I've noticed this is only true if I send the refund from a personal account. If I send it from the biz account, it doesn't have to be accepted, it is automatic. Either that or my biz account doesn't tell me when you accept it.
