@Claire-Stacey It appears that you were sent a refund as a goods and services payment instead of being refunded from within the original transaction and the payment was from a non-UK PayPal account so to receive this g&s payment, PayPal fees were assessed. The fees total to 4.9% + 30p. 2.9% + 30p (standard rate) + 2% (cross-border non-uk account rate) You won't be able to get the fees back unless you issue refund on that payment (which will cost you 30p) and ask seller to issue refund from within the original transaction. Either the seller doesn't know how to properly refund or refunded in a way that is punitive for the annoyance of having to refund a measly 99p. Because it costs almost that much to receive the payment in the first place T*t for tat might be on the seller's mind.
