The refund I should of had was £20, but PayPal as only refunded £17. I checked merchant and they confirmed on their system the refund was £20, but PayPal has only refunded £17, £3 pound less then it should be.

You receive a refund in the exact amount the seller sends it.

If you were charged a fee then the seller didn't use the refund option but used the send money  option instead.

Also even if he used that option it would have been fine if he used friends/family but for you to have been charged a fee he must have used goods/services.

That is unless it was a cross border transaction in another currency?

Hi Thanks for your response, The refund was from The Works, it was for a item returned because it was damaged. I checked with the works and they confirmed that the refund was £20 and yet PayPal only put £17.

If they used the 'refund' option you would have received the full amount as per my first post.
