It can take 30 days if the seller disputes the request and gives a good reason. ie if they did send the item but you claim you didn't get it, that will get investigated, but if they ignore the dispute often your money will be back within your account within a week or 2 but rarely. Consider Paypal is a lot like a bank in that they don't want to rush to put money back into yours or the sellers account ... the funds come out of the sellers account not long after you dispute the transaction but you don't get them back for 30 or more days.
My suggestion would be to file the dispute right now to avoid wasting any more time ... you never know, the seller might give it back right away ... if not at least the 30 days starts counting down from now.
