Your Amazon refund may not go directly to your bank account if you used a different payment method. Amazon typically refunds the amount to the original payment method. For instance, if you paid with a gift card, the refund will be credited back to that gift card. If you've used multiple payment methods, it gets split accordingly. Always check the Refund Confirmation Email Amazon sends to locate where your refund was issued.
