If the buyer did a chargeback via their card issuer then that card issuer makes any decisions and if they decide in their clients favour then you are charged their 'processing fee'.
Normally if you had seller protection you would be reimbursed by paypal but unfortunately seller protection does not cover virtual or digital content.

Sadly not as the 'loser' pays the credit card companies 'fee'.

You were the one that chose to sell virtual / digital items when paypal state you have 0 seller protection if you do.
So you were the one that took the risk and sadly lost out.

Yeah risking them refunding the money of the transaction itself but it's just dumb to take 4x the amount refunded which was 20$ just as 'extra charges'

Which charges they clearly state in paypals user agreement if you lose a chargeback the card company charge you their processing fee.
