blockchain.info will refund to the sender after 36-48 hours or so if no miner is kind enough to include it in a block.

Troll much, or are you just misinformed?

You have a different answer?
Please utter it.
2 bashes now on Paladin69, (who was nice enough to answer)
...without ANY explanation....
**** Thanks guys...
I really feel informed now...

The easiest option is to continue to wait. No, an "automatic refund" will never happen.

The only other option, which requires a good bit of technical skill, is for the sender to manually create a new transaction that spends the same inputs, but also includes a tx fee, and hope a miner picks that one up instead (which will then invalidate the original transaction).

Technically you could say the funds are still in the sender's wallet, but since the transaction has been broadcast, a miner could pick it up at any time and move the funds out to their intended destination address.

That makes sense...
Wish I could add that doggone fee...

Thank you for responding...

The same thing happened to me, but for much smaller amount. I took older copy of my wallet and it got "refunded", it doesn't show this transaction in my wallet now, but is still in the blockchain with 0 confirmations. So, I am not sure whether I have access to all of my balance shown in bitcoin-qt or not.
