Before i further my explanations, let me explain what it means by Paypal Payment refund.

Understanding Paypal payment refund
PayPal payment refund is a feature which allows you to forward back the money received from a sender with just few clicks.

Normally, when sending payments by default, Paypal usually charge certain amount for every successful transaction. (paypal transaction fees) But when you refund payment, neither the receiver nor the sender will bear any further charges. taking example below.

I wanted to send money to James at the same time, John has been a very regular client, i mistakenly sent John the funds which was supposed to be sent to James.

All you need to do, Is “ask for a refund” instead of telling him to send back. That’s because if he send back he will be charged transaction fees but if he refund the payment then there will be no extra charges.

In other words, the above explanations made it clear that there’s no extra charge when refund is done to those who are still asking “What are the Paypal refund transaction fees ” ?.
