Refund requested from buyer immediately after purchase, refund amount taken from available funds?

Help me understand this as it seems quite unfair.

Buyer requests refund literally a few hours after purchase due to a mistake they apparently made. When I issue the refund why would eBay take the refund from my available funds then make me wait 24 hours to have that money returned to my available funds?

1. I hadn’t even received those funds from the sale yet.

2. Does that not seem totally unfair?

Probably because you refunded instead of eBay?

I might have just cancelled the sale (as in buyer requested)….. and let eBay do their ‘thing’
