Issuing Refund and Fees

[0260n4s]

Someone sent me $1,725 via echeck that I didn't request and don't want to accept, and therefore I need to refund that money. The problem is I only actually received $1674.67, because of PayPal fees, but when I try to refund the money, I'm sending back the full $1,725 by default. I certainly don't want to eat the fee for a payment I never should have received, so what should I do? Will PayPal return the fee to me after I refund $1,725, or do I need to issue a partial refund for $1,674.67, so I'm not paying the fees?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Just refund the full ammount.  The sender will get a full refund.  Your % fees will be reversed.  You will have a net cost of -$0.30 for the fixed fee which is not reversed.

Thanks. Glad PayPal will refund most of it.

Is it acceptable to refund the amount sent minus 30 cents, to cover the fee that the sender imposed on the recipient?
