Make sure you use the 'refund' option and NOT the send money option.
Also check on the details page of the transaction and see what fee was charged, then refund minus the fee or you would end up paying it as the fee is not returned as part of any refund made.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.
