refund sent to wrong account

ok, so i really stuffed up my first refund.

 

as it was my first i agreed to refund the cost of item plus 2 lots of postage, plus some extra money to say sorry.

 

paypal doesnt let you refund more than the actual original payment so i did a new payment to the account i thought was my buyers, my error in choosing wrong email address.

 

that was on the 7th june. today got message from the actual buyer saying he hadnt got his refund.

 

on checking i saw my error, 2 buyers same amounts on same day.

 

so ive now sent a payment to the correct account and a im sorry email with it.

 

i have also emailed via PP about the wrong refund payment asking if they would please return it to my account.

 

have i lost my money if they do not return it?

 

thanks everyone, now stop laughing.
