Depends what the full story is...
Ive had a $1500 order go missing in the post, waited 2 months and finally got PayPal to refund after they knocked back first refund request. (Basically as soon as I raised that it was missing with PayPal, it was magically "delivered" by the freight company at 4 am and they poorly attempted to forge my signature)
PayPal refunded the money (they state that if it does turn up after they make that decision, you can keep it) 2 weeks later the box turned up at my work.
