Can I refund a purchase to PayPal?
Okay, I'll just get right to it.

Two days ago (Monday, February 5th) I purchased Trials Fusion, and decided to refund it yesterday (Tuesday, February 6th) because Ubisoft wanted to charge me another $30.00 to do anything (I should've expected this), and I recieved my $19.99 back into my wallet today (Wednesday, February 7th).

When refunding, I was given an option to either send the funds back to my PayPal account, or into steam, and not thinking I selected to send the funds to my steam wallet and I'm not regretting it.

If I were to purchase another game for $19.99 on the steam store,and attempted to refund the game, would I be given the same option to return the funds into my PayPal account?

Thanks for the help!

You will be issued a full refund of your purchase within a week of approval. You will receive the refund in Steam Wallet funds or through the same payment method you used to make the purchase. If, for any reason, Steam is unable to issue a refund via your initial payment method, your Steam Wallet will be credited the full amount. (Some payment methods available through Steam in your country may not support refunding a purchase back to the original payment method. Click here for a full list.)

You'll see the option to refund to PayPal only if you use that method to pay for the game.

Only if you make the purchase with Paypal and not the wallet funds you already have.

I buy all my games through Paypal it is refunded back to my bank that is linked to PayPal
Sometiimes my Wallet also.
But I have only ever refunded 2 games so Steam may have adjusted to newer methods.

This thread is 2 years old, and things may have changed since then. Please detail your issue (YEET) in another thread, because it likely has nothing to do with this solution any longer.
